You’re welcome. As I said in my post, I tried a number of things before and no marked difference. Then I decided to strip out as much as I could and it worked. Even on my current system, and a bloated FireFox install. Will test on Chrome like you said.

You’re right, the tip doesn’t seem to make much speed difference any more for me either. I’m using Chrome now rather than Firefox so maybe that’s helped. Also, the post is almost 2 years old now and I’m working on newer hardware so that’s probably helped too.
I’ve just put your tips into action and it does seem a little faster – it’s cut out some unnecessary detail in the Reader sidebar and streamlined things a bit. Thanks for that.
