Version 3.3 performance problems

[tmeadow]

Ever since I installed version 3.3 I've regularly seen performance
problems. Quite often after I press the up-arrow key to see the next
article I get the spinning pizza of waste (waste of my time). NNW
takes 5-10 seconds before it pays attention to me. This does not
happen all the time but it does happen quite a few times each day.

I'm about to revert to the previous version. Is that safe to do?

It is nice to see that a new version has come out since the change in
ownership and I look forward to future versions. Thanks.

I don't even have a folder by that name -- Lion 10.7.4, NNW 3.3.

I have the same problem, except that it lasts longer than just a few seconds.  I have basically given up on NetNewsWire and maybe even RSS feeds, unless I can find another reader that works like NetNewsWire.  I am not sure if reverting to the old version will work but using this version is regularly staling my entire computer -- just like if I stalled the car.  Equally frustrating.   It may be related to how many articles I have open, but that too is not consistent.  There is of course the problem with the BBC feed but I think that too is unrelated. 

I am wondering if this is related:

Clear out items in the TabThumbnails.noindex folder when no longer needed

~/Application Support/NetNewsWire/TabThumnails.noindex never gets purged of no longer viewed tabs. My wife's machine ended up with over 80,000 files in that one folder, and her entire machine started slowing down. (Yeah, I know, it sounds bizarre, but once I cleared out that folder, the slowdown that had been bothering her for months went away immediately. Limitation of MacOS X?) We purged it, which, btw, takes forever in the Finder. I had to drop to Terminal to do it effectively. Well, four months later, it's back to over 10,000 items. She only has a few tabs open. Apparently tab thumbnails never get deleted. I'd call this a bug.

I would suggest that perhaps tab thumbnail purging should be tied to the value for keeping news items in NNW (Prefs -> General -> Archiving.)
