Jeremy,

Please find response to each question/statement of yours. No offence 
intended.

Not only limit the "tiddlers *to *which freelinks are created" but also the 
tiddler limit those "on which we display freelinks".

Not any/everytime time, just should we wish to, on demand. The alternative 
to hard code by hand could be fiddly, can we automate this?. I believe the 
relink plugin can now handle renames.

Best for research, development and investigations, slower.

Ideal for publishing and sharing, faster.


Finally, your concern about my language.

With all due respect, I believe you read something into this, that is not 
there. There is nothing in my statement that is a criticism of any sort. It 
asks "please" and says "running down the performance rabbit hole again", 
AND not you, he or it named, But US (The collective "we"), it was raised in 
response to the key concern that "freelinking" raises - performance issues.

I almost always re-read my posts and always consider how others may feel 
when posting, so you can expect me to do as you ask. Yet like many other 
posters, I assume an egoless discussion, amongst peers, where brevity is 
permitted as long as the meaning is clear.

If you could point out how my sentence contains "implicit criticism" I 
would appreciate your view. 

Regards
Tony
