Ask HN: Snack like RSS feed ticker?

So I've come to love and rely a lot on Snackr (http://snackr.net/). It allows me to keep track of my favorite feeds in a fairly unobtrusive manner very conveniently. However the app is not perfect and _was_ in development until sometime ago when the developer seems to have just stopped developing. So do you folks have any suggestion on any similar app? Any hackers developing an app similar to Snackr? I would love to try out your app. My main gripes about Snackr: 1. It consumes far too much memory 2. [Important] It tends to utilise far too much of CPU bogging down the system sometimes. There are smaller issues but nothing that I can't live without
