This application eats a lot of RAM - Version: 1.11.6, 2/26/2009 01:46AM PST

Seriously, the RAM issue on this application needs to be fixed. It's inexcusable that this much RAM would be used for such a simple task. I agree with the other users that this is a good application, but too much RAM is being sacrificed from other processes for this thing.

FIX THE MEMORY ISSUE! - Version: 1.11.6, 1/21/2009 02:37PM PST

This is a great app, in fact, the only RSS application I've found that meets my needs, a simple RSS reader for the menubar that displays a count of unread articles. Simple demands, but no other app out there seems to meet them.

This app is great, *except* IT EATS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RAM for no reason at all. Seriously, I have about 20 feeds and it regularly uses 100-150 MB of memory. I have no idea why this would happen, RSS feeds are TEXT for christsake. How could TEXT take up this much memory? It can't, so there's something very wrong here, this should otherwise by a very lightweight simple application.

Please fix the memory issue!
