When NewsGrazer scans for new news (either because I typed command-N or  
because the "check new news frequency" expired), it goes nuts when there  
is no news. It take up a lot of CPU and slows the machine down to a crawl  
(is it using a lot of DPS resources or something? The cursor is flashing  
around in it a lot). It works fine (and fast) when there is new news.

This happens on a 25mhz NextStation color (21") running 3.0.

So have I configured something wrong? Do I have an old version of Grazer  
(release 2.0, version 72.2) or is there something else going on?

Thanks in advance,
