I've been using SharpReader as my RSS aggregator for a while now but I've decided to scrap it in favor of Google Lab's Reader. SharpReader ran in the system tray and seemed to slow down my machine's boot time significantly. I suspect it was also a drain on system resources as it monitored the feeds I'd subscribed to on a continual basis. Why not use Google's processor instead of my own?
