These changes have made a HUGE difference to the time it takes gpodder to update the feeds (this is on a P4m 2.2GHz laptop). It also has solved an issue I was having where some Sun Microsystems feeds were obviously being detected as updated/new all the time when in fact they hadn't changed at all. Brilliant work!
