Howdy. I am running a site that is aggregating a number of feeds for display on our site (all legal and above board, by the way) and am using the stock aggregator module. It's working pretty well (albeit some issues with certain feeds that don't conform to the letter of the law) but was wondering if there is a limit to how many sites can be aggregated without a significant performance issue. We are currently aggregating around 140 feeds, updating hourly, and all seems to be working okay, but the building of the list from the database is not the fastest thing in the world.

Basically I am bowing before the gurus here to see if you think this is okay, or you have better options for this.

I HAVE used the Aggregator 2 module in the past, but found it to be less stable than the stock module. I'm willing to consider changing if someone can make a good justification to do so.

Thanks,
jv

I've been keeping an eye on Leech, and waiting for a stable version for 5.x (I think they already have one for 4.7). Its got what sound like some great add-ons like auto tag creation.

I think its original code base came from Aggregator 2
