This is a database problem. Put appropriate indexes in place and the 
queries won't be heavy. What I do is for each item, check for uniqueness 
against
- <guid>
- <link>+Channel
- <title>+Channel
I only get caught by the few remaining blogs who insist on having one 
item per day and update it though the day. (Doc Searls, dammit!)
