Sage won't check automatically when you start Firefox -- or ever,
actually. You have to click to button to check for updates. Automatic
checking may come in the future, but it's not here yet, at least.
So you shouldn't pare down your list just for updating time. Though, of
course, when you do click the button to have Sage check for updates, it
will take longer the more read feeds you have...

»Q«, you should to send a Content-Type header that specifies a character
encoding (ISO-8859-1 works) so my defaulting to UTF-8 won't mess up your
name. :-\

you can see this refershing occur in proxo's log.
livemarks *hogging* causes deferred toolbar searches; this is what's annoying. hogging seems to happen ff in winxp, but not
in ff on winme.
also (on xp) it usually occurs the first time ff is loaded after the computer is powered up, but the ff-load hogging doesn't happen
when ff has been shutdown then later reloaded.
i'd prefer some kind of prioritizing, as some standalone donwloaders have.

i haven't been using sage since about ff ver 1.05 (my net usage seems to ignore the "opportunity" provided by feeds)
but i'd be interested to know whether livemarks do their background auto-checking when a feed xpi (such as sage) is installed
and enabled.

Livemarks are still checked the same way, whether or not Sage is in
use. But Sage can check bookmarked rss/atom/whatever URLs that
aren't livemarks, and Fx won't auto-check those.
Since this thread started, Henrik Gemal has released an extension
which reloads livemarks on demand. I made a feature request in
hopes the extension could have livemarks load /only/ on demand. He
wasn't sure it could be done and said he'd have to take a look at
the Fx source. I'm not pestering him about it, but I reckon it's
worth keeping an eye on that extension.
