Hmm, it depends on an example. Could you pls show such?

Note, that the website has direct access to the bug database, while the
debbugs package communicates via SOAP with debbugs.gnu.org. There might
be speed regressions due to this. However, for further analysis, I would
like to see your example.

This I cannot answer, somebody from the Gnus camp might know
better. Adding Eric in Cc.
