I recently got rid of my local leafnode server and went back to
accessing gmane and giganews directly.  However, I took things
step-by-step and just added the servers without immediately subscribing
any groups.  What I found was that the nntp-send-mode-reader function
would have to process an enormous number of lines every time I hit `G'
in the *Group* buffer, which was quite slow.  On a hunch I decided to
subscribe a group from each of those servers and the problem went away.
