Gnus start delay is 45 seconds, consistently.

The 'c' keypress on gmane.emacs.devel group was followed by a 9 minute
delay before it prompted for the number of articles to list from the
group.

During the delay before entering group the top-process reading had
STATE:sleep and WAIT:select and CPU:0.00%.

At a next Gnus session entering gmane.emacs.help was immediate, the
large number of unread articles was to the left column from its name.

Maybe the delays are artifacts of Internet splintering.
