And I guess too many feeds could be too much, memory consumption seems like a problem - a few thousand news a day and you're at like 300 MB - but I'm not sure if it would be any better if I opened these pages regularly. On a normal day with < 500 items from 15-20 feeds, FF as a whole stays under the magic 100MB mark.

I would consider them valuable as dynamic for a small amount of feeds. I happen to have a great deal of feeds, some I regularly consult, others occasionally : having them dynamically updated is a pain in the neck. This is why I will always consider the non-dynamic RSS feeder approach much more handy as well as logical when dealing with a great number of feeds. I am a 'SAGE RSS Reader Firefox extension' enthusiast and my only regret is that SAGE seems to have been abandoned by its developers : no update for Firefox 3 in view, but I keep hoping it will come... SAGE is just so efficient, practical, fast, no megas of RSS data, just plain access, so obviously brilliant ! As far as I’m concerned, I just happen to dislike dynamic RSS feeds.
