Registered queries are smart list-cache entries.

You've already deduced that that implies extra work when updates happen, either 
immediately or when each registered query is next used. With a lot of 
registered queries it's probably more efficient to do that work with each 
update, but I haven't noticed that behavior myself.

Why pre-register so many queries? As a rule of thumb it isn't worth registering 
a query unless it will be used it 2-3 times. Maybe that should be 2-3 times 
before the next update, too.
