Hmm.. saw this on the ding mailing list.  Will this work for the
nnimap backend as well?

True, though for now, you can (as I think Kai suggested to me) use
daemon-expiry:

  ;;; expiry handling
  (remove-hook 'gnus-summary-prepare-exit-hook 'gnus-summary-expire-articles)
  (setq gnus-use-demon t)
  (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-group-expire-all-groups 30 30)

I've started toying with total-expire for a few groups, and this made
things quite acceptable, performance wise.
