If yer like me, you've been using NetNewsWire to view a bazillion RSS feeds...
This is all Bruce's fault, you know. He puts us on to these cool
apps, that clutter up our brains.
I've noticed recently that NetNewsWire is getting slower and slower.
Slower to check the feeds. Slower to respond when I hit the "Mark
All As Read" button. And slower to view individual pages.
By some sort of transitive property, this makes it Bruce's fault our
Macs are slow!
Geeze, Bruce.
Ah tried "Empty Web Cache...", but that didn't fix anything.
So I went digging...
NetNewsWire stashes its stuff in ~/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire/
Therein is a folder called "Backups", that contains duplicate copies
of your RSS feed list. Trash most of those, to save some space.
The key tho, is the file "NewsItemStatus.sqlite3". That's the SQLite
database used to keep track of your feeds. On my system, it was over
100 MB!!! That's way to big. And par for SQL databases, it's
probably a mess internally. Trashed it, launched NetNewsWire, and
wow! Fast! Responsive! Back to it's old chipper self!
