Subject: [PATCH] Reduce window size for adjacent but never-focused feed pages

Track whether each feed page has been focused at least once. For
adjacent pages that are only prefetching (never viewed by the user),
use windowSize=1 to minimize rendering overhead. Once a page has
been focused, it keeps the default windowSize=9 for smooth swiping.
