Not really.

It is only created once you visit it, so if you dont visit it, it
doesn't.

Also, it doesn't drag in any new source folders, which are the big
memory hog, it only adds entries for folders that other vFolders have
already dragged into memory.

The crash on delete - was supposed to be fixed, although i can't
remember what happened to the patch.
