Snowl used to regularly update, repopulating my stream-view about once
an hour or so.
I noticed upon upgrading to 0.3 that I must manually hit the "refresh"
button now in order to get anything new. For what I use the
application for, this is less than ideal. Is this by design, or is it
a bug I should report?
Also: Would it be possible, in the future, to have a setting that
would specify how frequently Snowl polls for updates?

Yeah, I've since resolved this by updating Firefox, so it doesn't seem
to be a persistent problem. In the same vein though, is there any
reason that would cause a significant slowdown when it does poll for
the updates? My entire browser slows to a crawl for the 4-5 seconds
snowl spends adding new items to the list.

I'm seeing the same issue, and it's bad enough that I would like to
see a option to switch to manual-only updates sooner rather than
later. If you think your browser slowing to a crawl is annoying, try
having a flash game lock for the entire update time, (with no way of
knowing when it will free up).

code is already done to
1) pause/resume global or individual source refreshes
2) manual refresh only
3) set global or individual source refresh times and message retention
policies
hopefully there will be a 3.6 compatible dev build soon. as for the
core UI slowdown issue on all sources updating with lots of messages
to store, there are some async sqlite tweaks to look at..
