Theoretically, the number of feeds it supports is unlimited.
The component checks for new feeds at specific intervals of time configured by the site's administrator.
Whenever a guest user visits the feeds page the component verifies if a new check must be executed and shows a list of RSS sites to check and an animated progress status of the operation.
This dynamic check uses the AJAX engine to perform without a slow in page loading.
Basically there are two strategies for undated feeds.
The first simply checks all the RSS sites after configured time elapsed. This method have the advantage to have a feeds list always updated with all new feeds but if for a large number of RSS sites to verify, the checking operation could take some time and not all the users can have the patience to wait for.
The second method allows to "distribute" the sites to check after specific number of minutes later.
This technique allows to have short update times for all RSS feeds, and keeping them updated very frequently on the component page.
