Extreme slowdown after clean install

It's funny, because this didn't happen the first time I installed Torque. Basically, upon running torqueDemo, the framerate is ridiculously low, and it only gets lower as time passes. From looking at the console, the problem seems to be that the engine's stuck in a loop trying to get RSS feeds. It just keeps giving the same

Over and over - after a few seconds of running Torque, the console.txt was over a megabyte in size!
How should I go about fixing this?

    Okay, I chased down the culprit. Anybody who wants to remove RSS feeds from tutorial.base (that was where the problem occurred), go to tutorial.base/client/ui/mainMenuGui.gui, scroll all the way to the bottom, and comment out the contents of MainMenuGui::onWake.

    Can you check that the RSS feed is coming through for you ok? Also, it should only attempt RSS reads once; is there any indication why it's retrying?

    When tutorial.base loaded, the spot down the bottom that usually has the RSS feed looked like



    and down the bottom where there's usually the 'more' option there was also a     . I don't know why the RSS would be retrying that hard; I haven't looked in detail at what all the RSS functions do, I just looked for where it started.
