I'm using a 100 Mbps network as well. That does not seem to be the problem, and as stated by Tassilo, only one request is made... > Mirroring your mail server with offline imap or some other tool and linking > to the local mirror might help your access times.

I am (or was) a bit reluctant about this, as I always try (or tried) to have portable solutions that my colleagues can use on Windows. Some of them use my .emacs file, just changing user-name variables and some such. Same for my .gnus file. Installing local imap servers only running on Ubuntu is thus inserting a difference that others won't be able to match. But if that's the way to go. Bernt, what's your IMAP server, by the way?
