you know how you can process kill files off-line with gnus-batch-kill?

here's an extension of that idea:

sort and thread all subscribed newsgroups every day at midnight or
whenever with a cron job, saving the article lists to a file.  then
when you read, simply read in the article lists and merge in articles
that have arrived since midnight.

voila.  has anybody done this?  any comments?  does it sound like a
good idea?  any of the current maintainers thought of it?

(hint: besides speeding things up considerably, it would allow really
complex, interesting, normally very slow sorting to be done every
night.)
