*: <<< Performance Improvement >>>
Optimized the handling of the Repair'n'Extract view. Certain
parts of the code is now ~250 times faster than before. This
optimization should fix the temporary freezing some users see
when having many entries in the Repait'n'Extract view.
*: <<< Performance Improvement >>>
Improved the way NewsLeecher detects whether articles should
be marked as 'downloaded'. The new way of detecting, is ~500
times faster than the old way.
*: Simplified the Repair'n'Extract toolbar a bit.
*: Smaller improvement here and there. (made the SuperSearch query
box a little wider, etc..)
