I'm having it almost constantly. I just arrived to work, tried to
check for new mail, and I only got a nice clock instead of the mouse
pointer, and that's it. So I don't know what could this be. If I
restart emacs checking for new mail will be almost instantaneous.

 You may try other email account to see if this problem is persistent.  Otherwise , you have to find out where Emacs/GNUS is blocked  ,by some external tools ,such as GDB or elisp debugger ....Sorry, not able to help you here :)
