Heh. That sounds awful. For me, that would mean around 10,000 additional 
catalog entries. At the time when the iTunes plug-in was designed, 
Quicksilver’s performance would be noticeably reduced by that kind of thing. 
Even with the improvements it’s seen, I don’t think that would be unnoticed. I 
think it was a sensible trade-off (obviously, since I left it that way). Why 
have a performance hit for everything you do just to make something you do 
rarely a teensy bit faster. It’s not like you can’t get to those things 
extremely quickly as it is.

I thought Safari bookmarks were available even with the catalog entries off, 
since it works for history. Apparently, they aren’t.

I’m on the fence about whether or not they should be. I agree with the 
sentiment that you should just let things be in the catalog because Quicksilver 
will learn what you really care about, but the previous paragraph demonstrates 
that I’m not willing to take that to ridiculous extremes. I only have like 25 
bookmarks. If I had thousands, I might feel differently.

If you find you can’t stand it, feel free to open an issue.
