Thanks a lot for this answer.  I didn't suspect I could be running an
old version of Gnus, but that was the case.

I think my issue was twofold: maybe a bug in the previously installed
version of Gnus, and perhaps the slowliness when writing files to the
disc.  I archived many emails from the INBOX I regularily use and I
now use Gnus v5.13 (from Emacs master) and things seem better.

Sadly, I cannot know for sure what was causing the bug.

I will test with the new setup for a while and close the bug if things
are okay.

Thanks,
