I've been having this issue as well, for the longest time. In Jaunty, the workaround in post #12 worked perfectly, so I forgot about the issue. In Karmic, however, that workaround is no longer applicable.
The latest version is indeed much faster, but that doesn't mean much, as it's still unusable. Version 1.4.* with the workaround on post #12 or in Intrepid manages feeds in a matter of seconds, or instantly. Any Liferea version still included with Jaunty/Karmic by default makes even the simplest actions take minutes and turns the system unresponsive. Is there any updated workaround for Karmic's release? There are very few (if any) alternatives to Liferea for GNOME and as it stands, it's very frustrating to use. -- Liferea stalling, uses excessive number of fsyncs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290666 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
