#### 11.5.4 Slow Machine

If you have a slow machine, or are just really impatient, there are a few things you can do to make Gnus run faster.

Set `gnus-check-new-newsgroups` and `gnus-check-bogus-newsgroups` to `nil` to make startup faster.

Set `gnus-show-threads`, `gnus-use-cross-reference` and `gnus-nov-is-evil` to `nil` to make entering and exiting the summary buffer faster. Also see Slow/Expensive Connection.
