- Adding removing custom filters.
- Updating the filter lists (this may be done automatically if _Auto-update_ is enabled).
Additionally, with version 0.6+, µBlock is able to create a selfie to improve its load time next time the browser is launched, and creating a selfie is also a memory-churning operation. However for this one particular operation, once the selfie is created, the reward is that subsequent launch of µBlock will become very efficient CPU- and memory-wise -- as all the downloading/parsing of filters from raw text files will be completely bypassed.

However for this one particular operation, once the selfie is created, the reward is that subsequent launch of µBlock will become very efficient CPU- and memory-wise -- as all the downloading/parsing of filters from raw text files will be completely bypassed, causing µBlock to be fully loaded and ready in a fraction of the time it takes when no good selfie is available.
The time at which a selfie is created is at µBlock's discretion. Currently, this will happen some minutes after the filter lists has been loaded, so as to avoid launching memory-churning selfie creation operations before there is a good likelihood the user is done tampering with his selection of filters.
