Grabbing xml feeds faster

Rails
1

Hi, I’m grabbing a bunch of xml feeds and putting them into a page.
I’d like to grab them in parallel, or otherwise get them faster. Any
ideas?

at the-soup.net we use Backgroundrb to read feeds using FeedTools.

Feedtools (although not presently supported) has the advantage of
caching feed entries so you don’t burden the feed provider.

And then we store the entries for use in the view.
