Agreed, the new twitter is way demanding compared to the older version.
Once they stop allowing the old version, I'll probably have twitter loaded much less. On a core 2 duo, even scrolling in new twitter is way below par.
Is there a low cpu-usage client? I tried one of the flash based ones, but it brought the fans permanently on on my MacBook... Yeah, that's not going to fly.

- kragen 16y agoI had no idea. I'm going to try switching to this.
- kylec 16y agoI'm using the new Twitter client from the Mac App Store - it's quite good: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/twitter/id409789998?mt=12 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/twitter/id409789998?mt=12
- rdl 16y agoWhile it's better than the web UI, it suffers from the "mp3 player" problem of trying to make up its own widget library and UI style, and actually is kind of lame in a lot of ways (there is no top-level "new tweet" button, which is kind of a feature of all the mobile clients, and it's definitely a pain to use for DM conversations. It pops up weird non-standard shaped windows all over. I'd consider it a respectable indy effort, but pretty disappointing for Twitter, Inc.
