Slow Terminal Connection
------------------------

   Let's say you use your home computer for dialing up the system that
runs Emacs and Gnus.  If your modem is slow, you want to reduce the
amount of data that is sent over the wires as much as possible.

`gnus-auto-center-summary'
     Set this to `nil' to inhibit Gnus from re-centering the summary
     buffer all the time.  If it is `vertical', do only vertical
     re-centering.  If it is neither `nil' nor `vertical', do both
     horizontal and vertical recentering.

`gnus-visible-headers'
     Cut down on the headers that are included in the articles to the
     minimum.  You can, in fact, make do without them altogether--most
     of the useful data is in the summary buffer, anyway.  Set this
     variable to `^NEVVVVER' or `From:', or whatever you feel you need.

`gnus-article-display-hook'
     Set this hook to all the available hiding commands:
          (setq gnus-article-display-hook
                '(gnus-article-hide-headers gnus-article-hide-signature
                  gnus-article-hide-citation))

`gnus-use-full-window'
     By setting this to `nil', you can make all the windows smaller.
     While this doesn't really cut down much generally, it means that
     you have to see smaller portions of articles before deciding that
     you didn't want to read them anyway.

`gnus-thread-hide-subtree'
     If this is non-`nil', all threads in the summary buffer will be
     hidden initially.

`gnus-updated-mode-lines'
     If this is `nil', Gnus will not put information in the buffer mode
     lines, which might save some time.
