I'm using leafnode:

http://leafnode.sourceforge.net

Seems to work okay.  In general, though, Gnus is pretty slow when the
newsgroups have alot of messges.  I think scoring is supposed to help
with this but I haven't set that up yet.

Also, check your "gnus-fetch-old-headers" variable.  I have mine set to
nil:

(setq gnus-fetch-old-headers nil)

It helps a bit.

You mean like a "Sent" folder?  I have this in my .gnus.el:

(setq gnus-message-archive-group
      '((if (message-news-p)
            "Sent-News"
          "Sent")))

Customize to your liking.
