Too many RSS feeds?
Currently, I subscribe to 40 feeds, and have just over 26,000+ articles stored. I don't delete them because I like to have them for reference.Is it too much? Opera hangs on me quite often, sometimes up to 30-40 seconds. Never crashes, but it locks up for a while.
Is there a better way to manage my feeds?

The fact, that there is no automatic deletion of old RSS messages made me consider – I almost decided to do it – not to use Opera as Feedreader anymore once I will change over to version 10.5x.
As of now the counter shows I have 58910 messages. Xi This slows down Opera's startup (although it was far worse in earlier versions, let's say versions 9).
I like the possibility to select the "view » period". And I like, that hidden messages are not deleted instantly. But on the other hand, if they never get deleted, that yields to very large databases. Now, I could manually delete messages, but if you go to "All messages" and select a bunch of messages, marked messages (ie those flagged as "interesting" or " funny" or else) are also selected; I'd rather have kept them. So I'd propose automatic purging of "expired" RSS messages *independently* of the view period setting and *excluding* flagged messages and *excluding* messages of conventional e-mail accounts.
On another note, lately I deleted a few thousand of RSS messages. The re-indexing and reconsolidating of the database took my system hours, 6 to 12 of them! I know that there is a trade-off between fast searching and good housekeeping in such a db. But I feel there is need for an adjustment of algorithms.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience. «« « ‹‹ ‹
i think its a bit much.
i never tried it on my system but you could try the following to improve opera's startup time, but make sure to back up first.

Opera prioritizes mail and rss accounts during startup. This could mean that you could witness lots of disk activity during startup which could slow down Opera significantly. It is possible to delay each account individually to prevent that Opera slows down during startup. Locate your accounts.ini file which should be in the Opera mail folder. Every account should have an entry Initial Poll Delay=X where X should be set to at least 60 (seconds) and the rss feed to something like 120 or more.

Tonight I deleted about 50.000 rss messages: first by marking them deleted (ie deleting them into the trash can), what works almost smoothly, then by emptying trash can as step two. The re-writing of the message base and the reindexing took virtually about 9 hours of heavy hard disk access activity and slow responding opera UI. Actually the whole machine was ”kinda busy“ – to say it in Mrs. Gaga's words. ;D
[@oceanic: I knew of that setting, but it only defers updating feeds from the net. Reading the indexes slows my startup down, I guess.]
