AFAIK, Gnus hasn't been developed outside of Emacs for some time,
and the version in Emacs master is the latest version.
The version in Emacs is not "Ma Gnus v0.14", and it doesn't report bugs
against the "gnus" package (which is how your report arrived at
debbugs.gnu.org). So probably you should delete whatever standalone Gnus
version you are using.

(I doubt this has any relevance to your issue.)

Thanks a lot for this answer.  I didn't suspect I could be running an
old version of Gnus, but that was the case.

I think my issue was twofold: maybe a bug in the previously installed
version of Gnus, and perhaps the slowliness when writing files to the
disc.  I archived many emails from the INBOX I regularily use and I
now use Gnus v5.13 (from Emacs master) and things seem better.

Sadly, I cannot know for sure what was causing the bug.

I will test with the new setup for a while and close the bug if things
are okay.

Thanks,

I'm still unsure.  Cleaning up my inboxes and reducing the size of the
folders seems to go in the right direction, as the bug does not happen
as often now, but it still happens sometimes.

I think it is very specific to my setup so I'll mark this done.
