The problem may be that leafnode is reporting that it has a bunch of new groups available. 2MB sounds about right for the entire newsgroup hierarchy. I don't know if the gnus-read-active-file variable is supposed to disable the act of getting a list of available groups or what, as I use tin with leafnode. But I suspect that if you let gnus finish downloading that file, you'll see a list of a whole mess of new groups available. After that, those groups will no show up as they'll no longer appear as new.
