The default value of `ad-default-compilation-action' is `maybe'
which means not to compile advised functions if bytecomp.elc is
not loaded.  Though that advice to gnus seems needless now ;-),
there are several ways to force the byte-compilation:

1. Load bytecomp, i.e. (require 'bytecomp), before performing advice.
2. Add the `compile' flag to the arglist of defadvice.  E.g.;
   (defadvice FUNCTION (CLASS NAME ... compile) ...)
3. Set `ad-default-compilation-action' to `always'.
