During and after development I have profiled the speed of therss2html.php script.  I run in on an old PII Celeron-450, so all CPU
 intensive sections will be clearly show.  What I have found is that the
 processing is always very quick, except on very large (>100K) XML
 files.  On my slow machine that means less the .25 seconds.  However,
 it does take 3 to 5 seconds to reach some sites and get back results.
 I have confirmed and got similar fetch from remote servers times on our
 web hosting company which is very well connected.
 
 There is a caching module available, free for registered uses of
 FeedForAll and FeedForAll Mac.  It is also available for purchase
 separately with other scripts.  This module saves a copy of the remote
 XML onto local disk for a specified amount of time.  This dramatically
 speeds up processing, reduces bandwidth and removes the problems of
 slow access during peek times.
