Is there any way at all to get RSS Feed Reader on the Home screen to display more items as it used to do in OS2007?

The way it displays feed entries in OS2008 is such a waste of space, and I've noticed that turning auto-scroll on slows the system down noticeable. I've since turned RSS Feed Reader off completely, until someone comes up with an option for it to display items the way it did in OS2007

Not that I'm griping - my N800 works the way I need it to now, but it would be nice to get these things working again
