Nick, thanks for your analysis,
my custom agenda command for the weekly agenda is this:
...
("07" "agenda no todos sorted prio up - 7 days"
((agenda ".. agenda"
(
(org-agenda-ndays 7)
(org-agenda-start-with-log-mode t)
(org-agenda-overriding-header "Weekly Agenda"))))
((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(time-up priority-down todo-state-up))))
...
the todo list ist default "C-c a t"
It will not be easy to cut down my org files to smaller sizes.
Best,
- Rainer
