Why don't you channel your main RSS feeds through feedburner.com? In addition to taking most of the load, it gives you some very useful stats about your readership.
Decent RSS readers have exponential backoff if feeds haven't changed lately. If people are using ill-behaved readers, block them. This will not block any of the major players.

Unfortunately it will I think block Akregator 3.5.x, which is still heavily used by KDE users. That's probably bad for a Linux news site :/

Good thing Akregator is open source, and that someone can fix it :)

Akregator 3.5.x is also maintenance-dead. I very much doubt anyone will bother to add new features like this to it. (4.x is the New Thing but a lot of people haven't migrated yet.)
