Hi Divya,

Thanks for working on this I'm also a Gnus user and I think it would be
a great improvement.

Sadly, I failed to do what I wanted and finally gave up.  Maybe trying
to merge the relevant part of dickmao's patch is the way to go, I don't
know.

It seems to me that Gnus is quite a big software and that it is really
deeply "serial" (eg. a user command -> do thing 1 -> sub-do thing 2 ->
sub-sub-do thing 3 -> return up the callstack...).  So my idea was that
maybe it was possible to have some parallelism (with emacs threads for
example) only in some strategic places to have a less blocking Gnus.

Anyway best regards and good luck,
