(any reason this wasn't sent to the public list? others may be
 able to help if my 2nd attempt to fix did not work)

Anyways, I noticed you're pipelining a lot of XOVER commands and
maybe
https://public-inbox.org/meta/20180307190810.20784-1-e@80x24.org/raw
helps (deployed to news.public-inbox.org)

Otherwise, I also looked at the emacs source ( ./lisp/gnus/nntp.el )
and found:

  (defvoo nntp-maximum-request 400
    "*The maximum number of the requests sent to the NNTP server at one time.
  If Emacs hangs up while retrieving headers, set the variable to a
  lower value.")

Maybe you can set nntp-maximum-request to a smaller number
(maybe 5) and see if it helps.
