Does Elfeed have a practical feed limit?

[WorldsEndless]

I have recently started using elfeed instead of my twitter and Mastodon feeds. But I seem to have hit some limit; when I put them all in (that would be about 385 extra feeds I'm trying to grab from Nitter) my emacs thread freezes. I have verified that I am indeed using Curl and not emacs get-url function, so the problem is probably some limit elfeed has. Is there a built in limit to the number of feeds Elfeed can handle, or a practical limit that others have hit too?

upon restarting emacs the problem no longer seems evident. However, it would still be good to know if there is any kind of expected performance break-point.

Correction: although the initial elfeed view loaded fine, within a few minutes (presumably at an update cycle) my emacs thread froze again (show stopper in exwm). I hav started to run elfeed in a sub-emacs instance, like certain other potentially binding programs like Telega, to keep my master process free.

FWIW I have 506 feeds -- definitely slows Emacs down while sync'ing (when decompressing my archive), but no problem otherwise.

I nearly solved my timeout problem by reducing my curl timeout to something small. But something is still causing it to choke. I wish something better than bisection could tell me which feed(s) it struggles on...
