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. Thanks for the tip about "eatmydata".
