RSS Bandit v.1.3.0.29 (the first version I have used)
appears to use excessive amounts of system resources.

After only having the program open a few miniutes and
reading and deleting ~10 feeds the resource usage looked
like this:

Virtual KB Curr = 342,300 Peak = 359,688
Working Set KB Curr = 7,864 Peak = 61,480
Page File KB Curr = 50,264 Peak = 59,616
System Pool KB Paged = 485 Nonpaged = 52
Private KB = 50,264
Handles Count = 563
Faults Count = 143,159
Objects = USER = 184 GDI = 485
Windows = 72
Reads = 13,400 Read KB = 12,491
Writes = 1,530 Write KB = 6,603
Other IOs = 20,575 Other KB = 1,680

Thats very excessive for an application that is left open
(minimised) and is only used three times a day.

Of most consern are the high GDI object count and ~50Mb
of memory in use.

All internal IE windows are closed and were not open at the
time of taking this information.

The believe this to be a critical issue.

This prevents me from using this application as my "normal"
RSS feed reader as a developer I have to keep an eye on
resource usage and currently cannot trust RSS Bandit.

Thanks for your understanding,
Regards,
Dean.

    Here is yet another set of stats after the machine was running for
    only 1 hour and 53 mins.

    Started by = C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE
    Virtual KB Curr = 399,916 Peak = 421,108
    Working Set KB Curr = 26,916 Peak = 72,588
    Page File KB Curr = 68,888 Peak = 83,216
    System Pool KB Paged = 515 Nonpaged = 53
    Private KB = 68,888
    Handles Count = 690
    Faults Count = 269,474
    Objects = USER = 226 GDI = 4,294,957,884
    Windows = 107
    Reads = 32,013 Read KB = 36,717
    Writes = 11,413 Write KB = 26,941
    Other IOs = 45,682 Other KB = 3,677

    This is shockingly excessive.
