While going through the source code, I've noticed that org-agenda-list scans all the files in org-agenda-files and processes all Org items those files contain.
However, it seems when org-agenda-max-entries or org-agenda-max-todos are not nil, it still processes every entry, and only after building the agenda it reduces the number of items in the list. It's okay, but if you have lots of files and tons of entries, it seems to be waste of time and resources.
Just wanted to bring someone's attention to that. Thank you!

Hmm, it seems that org-agenda-finalize-entries sorts all the entries
before looking at org-agenda-max-entries and org-agenda-max-todos (which
makes sense), so wouldn't it generally need the entire set?

Yes, agreed. `org-agenda-max-entries' and `org-agenda-max-entries'
are less useful when the limitation is done *at the end* as it is now
(my bad, as I implemented this).
I would welcome a patch that take org-agenda-max-* variables into
account right after the list of agenda items has been collected and
just *before* any other filtering happens.
Let me know if this is something you can explore. Thanks!
