Hit ^ in the *Group* buffed to get to the *Server* buffer. Each
agentized server has a (agent) indicator in its line. You can
enable/disable the agent for a server with `J a'/`J r'.

Not using the agent for non-local servers will probably slow down Gnus
much more, because then it'll download an article from the server each
time it's requested. With the agent it's downloaded only once, and then
it's cached.
