So I think we have two cases where wallets want to find txs spending from their
outputs:
1) Waiting for a confirmation
2) Detecting theft
The former can be turned off once there are no expected unconfirmed
transactions.
As for the latter, this is probably a valuable thing for wallets to do. Modulo
reorgs, reducing the frequency that you check for stolen funds doesn't decrease
total bandwidth cost - it's one filter match per block regardless - but perhaps
the real-world bandwidth cost can be reduced by, say, waiting for a wifi
connection rather than using cellular data.
