I get the impression that it's not just loading the bookmark icons from
a local cache, but is interacting with the websites while it churns
through your bookmarks.  Google chrome without any bookmarks starts up a
lot quicker.

And certainly with browsers in the past, if you had a large cache, it
would churn through it at start-up, to preen away some old files, or as
part of it's amount-of-disc-space-to-use-for-caching management.
Reducing the size of the cache helped, an awful lot, with browser
start-up times.  Large caches are often a waste of time, anyway, as so
many sites just do not support being cached.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
