Hi,

I only let lightread run for a couple of hours and the memory usage seems
to be climbing. I'm noticing a lot of swap activity when lightread is
running, so it seems to be slowing down my system.

I guess the virtual memory usage doesn't matter , but it is large and
climbing. It started at 10Gb and climbed to 16.3 Gb. The resident memory
has gone from 1Gb to 2.2Gb in a couple of hours.

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 17947
guido 20 0 16.3g 2.2g 14m S 0 19.0 5:03.38 lightread

I've had to stop it, as it seems to be interfering with my system
operation. I use a lot of memory for other programs.

I have about 150 RSS feeds on my google account.

Guido.
