I've done some simple benchmarking by just disabling the
rfc2047-decoding in one Emacs and comparing group entry with decoding
versus group entry without decoding.  (The assumption is that a
C-implemented rfc2047-decode-string would take zero time.  :-)

I tried various groups, and selected 10K articles.  Entry time was
between 5s and 10s with decoding.  With the decoding disabled, group
entry was 15-20% faster.
