You can also zip the data on the server side and decompress it on the data side. Might save some time. If you use DefaultHttpClient you can use headers (ENCODING_GZIP) so it does it automatically.
Also, it seems like your application will be wasting network and battery by checking the server so frequently. A better architecture would be to use C2DM or something similar only when a new item has been added to the feed. If it's simple enough, you can tell the client to simply download those new entries when they become available.
