spam setup excruciatingly slow

First off, setup and disclaimers: I'm using current CVS Gnus under
XEmacs 21.4.15. I have an IMAP mail-source, and my mail store is
nnml. Specifically, my mail store is nnml in a directory tree in AFS
on the other side of a DSL line. I use exclusively spam-stat (and am
very happy with it, though something with a little less of a runtime
performance bite would be nice).
Around the time of the Great Spam.el Rewrite (TM), I noticed two
things happening:
(1) When I exit a mail group, the process of refiling spam into the
spam group is really, really slow. Like, in the tens of seconds
per message range. This involves lots of talking to the AFS
servers but I'm not really clear what's going on. The big wait
comes *after* the "Wrote /afs/sipb.mit.edu/blah/blah/12345"
message, with nothing else appearing in the message area.
(2) When I exit the spam group, spam.el helpfully tries to refile all
of the spam from there into the spam group, tripping (1) hundreds
of times. Kind of unpleasant.
Excerpts from my config:
(setq gnus-spam-newsgroup-contents
'(("nnml:mail.misc.spam" gnus-group-spam-classification-spam)
("nnml:.*" gnus-group-spam-classification-ham))
gnus-spam-process-newsgroups
'(("nnml:.*" (gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-stat
gnus-group-ham-exit-processor-stat)))
