Do plugins such as Image Downloader, Rss Downloader, XML Downloader etc run when renderAtTime is *not* called?
As in, do they run if renderAtTime is never called? If you never call it, they shouldn't ever execute. I don't think that's what you meant though :)
Those are all threaded patches, so when you call renderAtTime, they do a little dance, but the interesting parts are fired in a separate thread that sometimes takes a bit to complete (at least, when they're in async mode, which is the default). I'm not sure if QC does thread- pooling, which may cause some strange stalls if there are lots of outstanding stale requests, or if they're all their own thread (which would then have fun lock stalls instead of pool stalls). I think the Image Downloader does some caching now (Tiger's didn't), but I'm not sure of its limits. Perhaps the others do too? I've not played with them enough to know for sure :/
Maybe try setting synchronous mode in all of them, and then see what happens?
