If "my opened file" is current buffer right before you
invoked Gnus, then actually it does happen that Gnus
takes a while to start.
Did you do this?
(setq gnus-inhibit-startup-message t)
If you did, depending on how much Gnus you do (Usenet,
Gmane, mail, RSS ...) it can take a while if there is
a lot to be fetched.
If you didn't inhibit the Gnus gnu, then when you
start Gnus the gnu should appear instantly and only
after that should there be the fetch pause.

OK, that shouldn't happen. Perhaps your keystroke
coincides with the completion of `gnus'?
What happens if you don't press a cursor key - will it
be forever un-refreshed?
(It is bad karma to use the cursor keys btw.)

No, it shouldn't be like that.
