Slow article fetch with GNUS with SSL imap and news

Now that I have GNUS working with gmail, news.gmane.org, and news.eternal-september.org, I've noticed an issue with getting new mail and articles. When starting gnus, everything works as expected. However, after being idle for some period, pressing "g" to get new messages seems to hang for a long time. I end pressing Ctrl-g to let it progress. Then I see messages about using ssl_connect. I assume that the previous ssl connection has been dropped and xemacs doesn't know when I press "g". The Ctrl-g does something to let xemacs know. Is it not possible for xemacs to detect this quicker? Or is this how it's supposed to work?
