The usual cause is a very large local file with many news headers, even if marked as read and hidden from view. When you notice a group getting slower, it's time to clean up your newsgroups and compact your folders.
If the performance is slow when first opening a newsgroup, and when switching between newsgroups, it could be because the news account has a very large number of newsgroups. This is seldom a problem on systems with lots of memory, or on accounts with less than 25,000 or so newsgroups. If you suspect this is your problem, you can try my workaround.
