Other information:
UI seems to be hung, but since I've done a "cont" in gdb the following was emitted:

(evolution:6497): camel-WARNING **: Could not open converter for 'X-UNKNOWN' to 'UTF-8' charset

so evolution is still doing something, just not updating the UI.
Comment 1 Brian J. Murrell 2008-12-02 15:01:28 UTC 
And in fact, it is consuming 90% CPU and I still see NNTP traffic flowing.  So I will wait until I see that stop before I decide to kill evolution and restart it.

BTW: is there a way to limit how many (i.e. recent) messages evolution will fetch summaries for when adding a new newsgroup?  Servers like gmane will have groups with many (many, many) messages in them and likely I don't want them all.  I just want a few (or none) of the recent messages but just want to fetch/see new messages.

Ahhh.  Finally, the NNTP traffic has stopped but evolutions UI is still unresponsive and not updating.
Comment 2 Milan Crha 2009-02-25 18:31:33 UTC 
Could you try with 2.24.4 or later please? It should be better there.
With respect of limits: no, I'm not aware of any such option.
Comment 3 Srinivasa Ragavan 2009-08-19 05:25:55 UTC 
Most of the performance issues in NNTP was fixed part of the other bug.
