Takes longer than what?

There's no way to make it permanent. I'm not clear on why you'd want
to re-download 70% of the headers every time you open a group. You
might want to check out the storage options.

If you've already got the headers, there's a quick filter box at the
bottom of the screen for that. There's either an F(rom) or an
S(ubject) to the right of the box; right-clicking that will toggle it.

If your server supports XPAT, you can have it search the group for you
by using Group » XPAT Search.
