Is this an nntp server, or some other backend? You mention newsgroups, which sounds like nntp, but also neomutt, which sounds like mail. Not that I'm going to have much of a solution for you, but I do feel like nntp handles large groups without too much trouble. Even if it takes a while, it shouldn't spin up your fans. If it's maildir, Gnus does currently have trouble with large message stores, mostly because it is building the header cache and that is very slow/is done inefficiently/is plagued by gremlins. Someone™ will get around to fixing that eventually, but for the time being it is slow.
