@minad@mastodon.world Thank you for your work!
After the recent optimizations I think you actually made Elfeed faster despite the addition of new views and features. The db and index require less memory too.
The changes were fast enough that I couldn't keep up, and I don't actually understand how search works any more. I plan to study it soon.

@karthink@fosstodon.org Thank you! Yes, Elfeed should be slightly faster now, since I made a few detail optimizations to the db. The db takes less memory since many strings and ids are deduplicated. Otherwise there are no fundamental architectural changes. No worries about not understanding search anymore - it is really still the same. Lots of my work on Elfeed was about resolving many of the outstanding bugs and issues, merging new features, and bringing the package up to current Elisp standards.
