Yes, I was investigating that, too ... and indeed I found that the value
was user set. What had driven me to set it as string remains a mystery
to me, I wasn't even aware I'd ever touched that value. So I think it's
save to assume that `gnus-large-newsgroup' is an integer or nil ;)

Yes, increasing the interval is certainly a good idea. But how about
using the Fibonacci sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8 ...) for this :)
