Hi Dan,
> [nnimap or nnmaildir for synching imap]
I use a local dovecot imap server that synchronizes several imap
accounts using offlineimap. From Gnus, I access it via nnimap. This
works very reliable for more than a year now.
Before, I used offlineimap to populate maildirs and accessed those with
the nnmaildir backend. But that was very slow for big groups.
The switch to a local dovecot imap server was quite easy. To configure
dovecot for my needs, there's no magic involved. I can send you my
configs to get you started.

Very fast, much faster than nnmaildir, at least for groups with a lot of
articles.

Dunno 'bout that one...

Dovecot has several full text search plugins that speed up imap SEARCH
commands. For interfacing with it, I use nnir. Setup is a one-liner
for each account.
