one of the most useful environments where freelinking might be used is on Intranets, which are in many cases behind proxies, and currently Drupal doesn't support proxy configuration

thus, despite the fact I think such a request has a huge performance impact on a simple filter processing, it seems that this feature should be an optional behaviour

also:
-- IMHO it deserves its own cron task for fetching titles from an external site
-- doesn't seems a good idea to parse an external page as part of an internal filter processing

HTTP Request behavior is optional in 3.x-dev via default-on configuration setting. I would love it if Drupal could handle a restful request for a page title in exchange for an nid. If you know a cleaner approach to this feature, please post it!

Filter code is only processed once every 24 hours, or whenever the cache is cleared for that node. Any recommendations for a caching strategy to tighten that up further?

Please remember that 3.x-dev is indeed an unstable development version. Only use it to test new features and fixes.
