Subject: Re: RSS/Atom feed consuming lib?

I am also working on a performance app that requires feed parsing.  The 
two that I have tried are feedtools and syndication.  First I tried 
feedtools for RSS and Atom, but that was too slow, so I switched to 
syndication for both RSS and Atom.  I found syndication to break on a 
high percentage of Atom sites, so in the end, I sent RSS to syndication 
and Atom to feedtools and took the corresponding perf hit for Atom 
feeds.

I find this approach to be decently robust, but not very elegant.  I am 
going through > 10k feeds a day of all varieties.

Can someone comment on the robustness of Ruby RSS Parser and Lucas 
Carlson's SimpleRSS?  I am curious about Andy's feed normalizer.

HTH,
Ray
