The reason your site is slow is due to the large images that have to be loaded on the page. Regardless of setting an image handler, the images are still large. To work around this, you could use Ajax to load each item only when the header is clicked. You'd need a persistent database to do this. Also, because the SimplePie loading code is the same code that is used for displaying, it's possible that someone viewing the page will cause the cache to flush (as it's out of date), increasing the load times significantly. This can be worked around by using a persistent database and using SimplePie only on a separate updater page (which can be done on an interval using cron, etc.). -- Ryan McCue <http://ryanmccue.info/>
