I don't either ;-)

The group I'm talking of is the one which contains all the
*received and sent* mails from/to my colleagues, over the
4 years and a half I'm using Gnus.

So, yes:

    o   I apply automatic splitting to my incoming mails, so
        that it gets sorted by (groups of) emitters: family,
        friends, colleagues, ...

    o   and I always GCc to the corresponding group - when
        answering -, so that the threading of my conversations
        works nicely.

This explains that, in particular, my "work" group is getting
big, with ~ 17.000 mails.

Applying the above described method for automatically marking my
answers as read mails is incredibly slow for that one group (one
minute, or more); though, it was OK for smaller groups.

Best regards,
  Seb
