The current method to get iPlayer menu requires fetching web pages from
BBC - the complete Radio 4 playlist has about 7 web  pages so there are
7 web pages fetches and sometimes there is delay in BBC responding but
at say 2 secs per page = 14 secs.

The BBC are working on a XML API which only requires one fetch and less
parsing and so is quicker but at present the content is not as reliable
as the web pages methods. AlienBBC will probably change over to the XML
API when it is finalised and as reliable as the web pages.
