Recommend me an RSS reader?

Hey!

I'm in desperate need of a nice full-featured RSS reader.

I used to work with FeedDeamon but it's just too damn slow and bloated.

I need something portable and not too bloated. I loved FD's features, but common people it's TOOO slow.

Open Source...., the choice of a GNU generation.

So I'll see that "RSSOwl" one. Hope it works!

I see the release has been from May 15 - so maybe that's a sign of some kind (eg. it's just in time for me
