I used patched version of liferea since it was uploaded, and I haven't faced any serious issues even when killing liferea process during feeds update. Definitely vote for "speed" over "persistence".
I totally understand why liferea developers don't want to remove fsyncs. But on the other side is one of the best RSS aggregator taking several seconds to just mark folder read. When I see HDD led glowing bright my first thought is "why liferea is updating feeds now?". Maybe it's possible to provide liferea "add-on" in USC which will cause it to run with fsyncs disabled by default? With proper warnings in place. Regards. P.S.
