I don't have a problem with 15 feeds with their archive properties adjusted to 
20.

  I have a similar problem with RSS feeds using the IE 8 feed reader and JAWS 
9.  After I have scrolled through my list of RSS feeds (about 100 or so), web 
pages either won't finish loading at all or I get the dreaded "Internet 
Explorer cannot display the web page" error.  The only thing that restores web 
page loading to normal is rebooting my PC.  So there is apparently problems 
with the IE 8 feed reader.

    Have you noticed that Jaws seems to hang on some rss feeds?  Some of my 
favourite feeds take a while to load.  In the mean time, Jaws appears to hang.  
My test is to press the numlock key.  Jaws won't say a thing till the darn rss 
feed has finished loading.  Sometimes takes 20 seconds or more.  I can't alt 
tab or do anything till then.

    Here is the worst feed:

    While researching this.  I found out some web pages can cause IE8 to spike 
cpu usage over 60%.  Microsoft is aware of this but hasn't offered a patch.

    Another symptom is that my cpu fan on my laptop would always run when 
loading some rss feeds and some pages.
