From one of my earlier posts, as a response to one of the devs:

In short, yes, it does. Nothing really happens in the daemon atm. The only thing it does is grab config files (which it doesn't use), and get interfaces to do stuff (which it doesn't do). It makes no requests to the gtk-ui, either. So, it is quite tame. In order to hit a filter / refresh a feed, a/the gtk-ui has to be up and running. If the gtk-ui was already down and the daemon freezes, I can only reason that it'd have to be something else. (It could still be related to flexrss, it'd just be for some other reason unbeknown to me.)
I also hadn't tried testing a feed where the requested feed is valid, but not available / times out, so it is possible. I have noticed a slight pause when it takes a bit of time to resolve and download a feed. I have tested a bad url, though; the response is near instant. What kind of response did your web browser give when accessing the offline feed?
