A few questions about slowdowns

Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to ask about these things, but I think it is.

I've recently started using the function that fetches story URLs from email, and I've noticed that the process slows down significantly whenever one of the URLs is from Royal Road. My first thought was that it might be related to Royal Road’s email-click redirect URLs, but I'm not certain, so I wanted to ask here to see if that's expected behavior.

I also feel like fetching metadata has been noticeably slower since a recent update. I’m not sure whether that’s just my imagination, but I can’t think of anything specific I changed that would cause it—although I *have* been modifying my `personal.ini` quite a bit. As far as I can remember, the only changes I made are listed below. Could any of these cause slowdown?

I also added some URLs to my previously empty reject list, and may have enabled the setting that splits URLs into separate jobs by site. I’m about 95% sure I already had that turned on previously.

Here are the relevant parts of my configuration:

[defaults]
