Yeah, just a minute ago when replying to David I also stumbled across
that paragraph. So maybe we are trying to replace one extremely long
running command which only occurs when following links (or searching for
Message-Ids) with a constant slowness in normal operation. But let's
try it out.

It should be as easy as:
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnimap "MyAccount"
(nnimap-address "my-imap.server.com")))
and putting your user/password for my-imap.server.com into your
~/.authinfo. You might want to put a (nnimap-stream tls) into the
method spec above if the server supports TLS (or ssl for SSL).

Nobody understands Gnus. ;-)
