When starting Liferea it takes a long time (about 2 minutes with 400 feeds) to update feeds with a lot of hdd activity going on. Also i can hear my harddrive every time i read a unread feed which didnt happen on 8.10 (with ext3).

I can confirm this with version 1.4.23 from the official repo and 1.4.26 and 1.5.10 from PPAs.
This is with only (about) 30 feeds. VACUUM;ing the database has no effect.
Any activity leads to a lot of disk activity. The database journal file is created, deleted and and recreated seemingly for each feed item.
