Strider Icon    Strider performance is sluggish
 

If the list of bookmarks become too large, Strider will spend more time checking the RSS feeds of these bookmarks, affecting the performance you get when browsing headlines.

If Strider seems to be working slowly, try the following solutions:

Try to increase the default refresh interval in the main preferences. For bookmarks that have few news, change the refresh interval for that bookmark to a larger value in the Info window of that bookmark.

Use the textual representation of headline detail when possible. If you choose the HTML representation and if the page has a lot of animated pictures or has a complex layout, things can slow down as Strider spends more time animating those pictures and building the page.

Try to reduce the number of bookmarks you are subscribed to.
