Let me get this straight : you have Gnus running unplugged and another
emacs instance is fetching messages with a cron job ? And the unplugged
Gnus refreshes its group with gnus-demon-add-handler ? 

That could be the solution I've been looking for for a while. I guess
one could use this trick for any long process in Emacs (synchronization
through org-mobile-push comes to mind)
