Nothing in particular. Gnus is already doing a fair bit of effort to
run asynchronously. But, e.g. refreshing the *Group* buffer can take
a long time (especially if you use IMAP) and during this time, your
Emacs can't be used, even though it's not necessarily using all of
your CPU.
Similarly when downloading a large article (with say some movie
attached).
For those reasons I always have at least 2 Emacs processes running: one
for Gnus and one for pretty much everything else.
