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!
