How To Speed Up Safari RSS Reading

I really like the Safari RSS reading capability built right into the web browser. Not to long ago though it was DOG SLOW. It would take minutes to show me new stories and I was starting to get frustrated with it.
Here is what my Safari browser looks like:
I really like it cause its non intrusive but like I said above... recently it got really slow. By slow I mean when I would click on the site that had new articles (had the number of unread articles next to it) and it would grind my computer for a bit... I always wondered what the hell was going on.
By default Safari is set to "display all"
This means it will display every article at once... I changed this to "last week". On sites like Techcrunch they use a lot of images and there is sometimes 15 stories a day.
Then I headed to the Safari preference panel and changed the Remove articles time period from Never (I cant imaging how many stories were saved over the last year):
I changed it to 1 week so anything older then 1 week now gets removed.
These 2 simple changes drastically improved the speed of my Safari RSS reader.
