Make NetNewsWire Sing

netnewswireI have often said that NetNewsWire is my favorite app for OS X  (so much so that some might think I'm getting paid by Ranchero, but I'm not. Honest!). One for reasons is that that application is well thought out and put together. However, another reason that I like the application so much is that Brent Simmons is always quick to answer tech support questions, no matter where they appear.

geeked. wondered why browsers and NetNewsWire were such CPU hogs. I, myself, have noticed NetNewsWire sucking large amounts of CPU. Brent left a comment on the entry suggesting this: "In NetNewsWire, open the Preferences, click on Appearance, and click on Web Pages. Disable Java, JavaScript, and plugins — and restart NetNewsWire. Most likely you will not find this CPU usage happens again."

It worked for me! Thanks, Brent.

Having those there items disabled would seem perhaps to already be the initial default NetNewsWire settings, however? I think ...
