[Chapter-delegates] Performance problems on your web-site when syndicating www.internetsociety.org/headlines/rss

[Christian de Larrinaga]

Klaus

I had the same problem with ISOC UK England site (www.isoc-e.org) and removed the feed. 

I replaced it with a feed from scoop IT in our policy page only. To keep the amount of space down I've implemented as a rotating one line Ajax widget. I'm not convinced it's the best solution but it seems to work for the time being. 

It would be nice if the ISOC RSS feed could be brought back up to snuff again.

thanks!
