While we continue to work on this, we've added an on-off toggle for PostRank that appears in the left pane of Google Reader, above "Add a subscription".

This has happened on both my home and work computers.

1. Dell P4, 2.8 GHz, 500 mb RAM, running Win XP Pro SP2
2. Mac Powerbook, 1 Gb RAM, I forget the CPU speed, running OS X Tiger

Both are running Firefox 3.0, using the Google Reader Greasemonkey script 2.0.

Right now on the Dell Firefox is using 97 mb of memory, and I've seen it get above 200! This was never the case before the new version of the script. Other coworkers that I've turned on to the extension report the same resource drain.

My Mac slows to a crawl. I pretty much can't use the script on it, which is ridiculous because it's a fantastic machine, albeit a few years old.

This is really bumming me out because I think this is the best thing ever to happen to Google Reader.

Is this still happening for you? Try upgrading to the latest version of the add-on; things should have improved by now.

We've seen some reports of CPU usage hovering around 10% — see this recent mailing list thread — and we're trying to reproduce this reliably so that we can work on a fix.

Are you still seeing issues with the official FF3 release and the latest version of the Google Reader extension?

Hi, thats my machine:

Intel Celeron - CPU 2.53GHz - 512 MB RAM
Using Windows XP SP2 and Firefox 2.0.0.14

And I've tests with the extension and greasemonkey script.

I think these problem are caused by the "refreshing loop" in the google reader page. Perhaps the search for the ranks were held only once and had valid during the session (log in / out), I will increase my performance.

My problem is the code Twitter gives to set up text has a + at the front of it.... the + is the problem for me. Anyone else?

Extension eats 50% of CPU

Why does the Firefox extension eat up about 50% of my CPU usage?

My provider is Rogers (in Canada), and I can't do it. I know shortcodes aren't blocked on mine because I can send to Facebook (32665) and Google (46645) - and receive messages from them - just fine. It's only the twitter numbers that don't seem to be working for me. Not even the international number works.

What kind of maching are you working with? Operating System, Firefox version, CPU clockspeed, RAM size, etc?

Uno de Waal reported a problem in AideRSS on April 18, 2008 11:41:

AideRSS slowing down Firefox?

Is it AideRSS that slowed down my Firefox?
I had a huge problem where when I opened Google Reader it started slowing my browsing down. To the extent that it froze my Firefox and I couldn't use it anymore. I uninstalled and now it's working fine.

No email autocomplete in Google Reader

Why do I sometimes get an autocomplete when I email, and sometimes not? It's irritating that it happens haphazardly.

Ok, I got my problem fixed. I called my provider and asked them if short codes were blocked on my phone. The customer service rep stated that all short codes were being blocked. I asked her to remove the blocks. She did. I went back in to Twitter and registered my phone again.

And what do you know? I am sending messages from my mobile now...yippie!

I'm international and I'd like to use the SMSing. I can SMS to international numbers, but it seems as if the twitter ones arent' going through.
