Changing my default RSS Aggregator

It's the fourth .NET Framework based RSS aggregator that I try and adopt.

I first began with the first version of RssBandit when it came out as a code sample for an MSDN Magazine article. It was really simplistic, and the features were really limited. Then I moved to Syndirella which I used for a long time. Then I felt in love with SharpReader, but a couple of months back, I switched from SharpReader to RSSBandit 1.2 which is really nice on my home PC since SharpReader - for some obscure reasons - ate too much RAM with all the feeds I subscribed to.

Until this morning, my default reader was RSSBandit 1.2.0.9 on all my machines, but I've just tested a new one called Sauce Reader from Synop, and I think I like it. Though it's free for personal use, if I decide to keep it after four weeks of tests, I think that I'll buy a licence from those guys. It's pretty cheap and this nice work has to be encouraged.

This is the occasion for me to mention something I have observed on my machines, and I'd like to have a feedback on your personal experiences on that matter: from the four .NET based RSS aggregators that I've mentionned previously, I've experienced very different memory usage levels, and on some of them, I've has problems because of a poor UI responsiveness. Did you experiment the same?

Watch out! I just noticed Sauce Reader has a pretty nasty memory consumption itself. I'm switching back to RSSBandit for the time being.

It doesn't sound like you were using the most recent version of RSS Bandit which is v1.2.0.114

I just tried Sause Reader myself and finally had to terminate it when it reached 172MB of RAM.

Yes, quite strange. On my home PC which is a Duron 1GHz with 512 Mb, the 170+ Mb used by Sauce Reader begins to weigh. Even stranger, the whole machine memory usage is about 400 Mb, it doesn't swap, but responsiveness of the app is quite bad, and the CPU usage swings from 30 to 80% every 5 seconds or so. Deceived ;-((
