This is interesting; most testimony I've seen tends towards the other
direction.  That is, Gnews users who try GNUS and find it much faster
and more convenient, and switch.  I can't offer an opinion, as I have
never used Gnews.  But I do like GNUS.

As far as the "fastest" newsreader, that award probably belongs to nn.
It flys through newsreading, but it's only optimized for a particular
style of reading news.  I find it doesn't much appeal to me, although
it does have some strong points.
