Gollum held the Ring longer than they, & anyone else for that matter. The transformation from halfling to a green slimy creature seems to be a indication of the first major signs of a Ringwraith developing. Also there is the extra physical powers which Gollum now has, such as keen hearing & sharp eyes which light up even in the dark.
