Setup gnus just read 100 news, then it will be fast.

(setq gnus-large-newsgroup 100)

And then use function `gnus-group-read-group-no-prompt' read newsgroup,
and then gnus will open 100 news directly and won't prompt you.

(defun gnus-group-read-group-no-prompt ()
  "Read news in this newsgroup and don't prompt.
Use the value of `gnus-large-newsgroup'."
  (interactive)
  (gnus-group-read-group gnus-large-newsgroup))

Enjoy!
