Hopefully we can make enough other improvements to speed them up, so that it won't slow things down by having them in, as I do believe they help enrich the immersion of the game. But I do also like being able to sit down and sim more than a week without cursing how slow my computer is.

Are you sure that you aren't overestimating the impact of feeders on game speed? I usually run a standard game with the default set of feeders. Even on a very ordinary laptop (now a couple of years old), it runs without any especially annoying delay. The last day of a month might take 30 seconds. Other days are quicker.
All those leagues do hog hard drive space, but that's scarcely an issue for anybody these days.
