The best feedreader out there, next to FeedDemon. Low processor usage and low memory usage(around 35MBs). Loads up my 50 feeds, that usually have a lot of images, quickly. Also going from feed to feed is smooth, with no or very little pausing. Also has multiple CSS style views that each look nice in their own way. As pleasant or more pleasant than the FeedDemon CSS styles.

This program has a hard disk activity rate that is way too high for a news reader. Swapping to another category requires intensive thrashing of your hard disk. 3/5 until this is resolved.

Interested by Todd 13's comment, I decided to try Omea Reader. Besides, it's good to keep an open mind.
Omea reader turns out to suck, hard. Todd, you must be on some hard drugs to think Omea reader even comes close to Greatnews. What are you thinking!?
The truth is, GreatNews is the best RSS reader out there - free or not. I LOVE the fact that it saves ALLL of my settings inside of the folder. I really appreciate that aspect.
I've tried ALL of the RSS readers mentioned/found for Windows. Here's my ranking
1) GreatNews (free, less features, PORTABLE)
2) FeedDemon (NOT free, more features, NOT portable

It's great freeware, but I don't like the cleanup function. I want to be able to select several feed items and delete them. So I use FeedDemon instead.
