This should be doable, and doesn't come anywhere near the "rewrite" job. You just need a way of blocking the output from the shell, and then use Emacs commands to kill it. > - Same for long-lines, this is still not a solved problem.

Concurrency can help you keep reading messages while Gnus refreshes in parallel, but it won't easily help you refresh faster, unless someone comes up with a way of collecting the update in parallel chunks (in which case they should be able to do that today with the emacs-async package, I think).
