Google Reader: Slow Starred Items
Posted by geetarista March 19, 2008
I really love Google Reader and all of its wonderful features. However, I do have only one small issue that really drives me crazy: slow starred items. No matter if I only have one starred item, Google Reader will sit there “Loading…” for sometimes up to five minutes before it will switch over. I really rely on starred items as those stories that I do not have time for immediately and want to save for later. Every other feature of Google Reader works very fast for me–impressively fast, actually. I know it is not my computer either since I have tried this on several different computers.
Has anyone else had any issues like this with their Starred Items? I have searched around but have not seen anyone else with this problem or a solution for it. Until I figure it out, I’ll just have to (un)patiently wait.
Yes, Google Reader is painfully flow when loading my starred items. When it gets going, I go do something else and check back later. I have no idea why it is this bad.
