I am using FeedTools to grab an rss feed from a blog and display the  
last 10 items. Currently there are only 4 items in the feed and it is  
taking about 20 seconds to load the page. When I disable feedtools the  
page loads almost instantly.

Does anyone know how I can improve the page load time when I’m using  
feedtools?
