   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.

That's what mthreads does (although not for gnus).  One of the
happiest days in my life was when I was able to type

	rm mthreads

thanks to Mr. Collyer and his nov database.  There aren't enough
cycles or disk space on the planet to handle this task.
