The additional check would mean that with certain .txt files Zim can stop reading after the first few lines and does not have to update its outline ect. - so less I/O and less CPU needed. Files with other postfixes should not be affected at all.

This is correct for indexing. However there are a few more places
where the directory listing is used. Need to double check those and
make them use the index instead.

Also need to make the filtering for the attachment folder more
advanced. Now it just ignores any text files, should be updated to
only ignore zim page text files.

That would just be the first line, the Content-Type line.
