I noticed Xnews's CPU usage was way too high while downloading binaries.
Turned
out when you have huge number of items in the queue (>10,000), removing the
first item in the
queue took way too long (basically, I was basically refreshing every item
in the queue, duh!)
So I made a bunch of optimizations and adding to/removing from the queue
should be a bit faster.
The downside is the list tends to flash more.
Also: you can now insert more than one item to the top of the queue
(highlight, then shift+space).
If the items are already queued, shift+space will move them to the top of
the queue.
