FF Clients Disappoint

After having some problems with Twirl and AlertThingy, I think I’m going to stick with the FriendFeed web app for now. Isn’t that strange? Shouldn’t desktop clients be so much more responsive? Shouldn’t they be able to provide a richer UI? And yet, I find the FF website to be a) more up-to-date and b) more responsive to my clicks and scrolls.

One thing that I still don’t understand is the ordering of entries. Look at my screenshot. Those were all loaded at the exact same time. Can anyone explain this ordering?
