Gnus normally determines whether a group is new or not by comparing the
list of groups from the active file(s) with the lists of subscribed and
dead groups. This isn't a particularly fast method. If

cheaper. This also means that you can get rid of the list of killed
groups altogether, so you may set @code{gnus-save-killed-list} to

fail-safe answer. I would suggest just setting this variable to
@code{ask-server} and see whether any new groups appear within the next
-few days. If any do, then it works. If none do, then it doesn't
