Bryan hit the nail on the head with his post about Radio Lite.  I need a Radio that runs smaller and with less processor cycles.  NetNewsWire is great for posts, but sometimes I want to tinker with the backend.  If I run Radio on my native machine (a TiBook/550 with 768MB of RAM), the processor sits at 50% utilization.  After 2 minutes or so, the fan kicks on low.  After 5 minutes, it's hard to miss the fan on high speed and the lack of “snap” to the apps.

What's going on with Radio versions?  When will we have a faster Radio environment?
