[Users] [Bug 2833] RSSyl generates too much IO

	How about caching that info. Claws mail folders have cache to
avoid parsing all the messages for info.

	RSS feeds can both have little info, but can also have
a lot of items.

	I already had the idea of moving the feeds to another
(mail) folder, but duplicating the RSSyl folders dont look like the
correct way of solving this, so i open the bug :)

	yes, cutoff after the date of the last item plus 1 day look
like a good idea. this way it will always update the last entry (the
more probable of having one update), plus a few more, depending of
the feed update rate

Thanks in advance

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a 
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are 
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger.  It works the same in every country.
