I was wondering if anyone has a link to a guide or something on how to optimize my XML to increase it’s load speed.

I am using XML to load articles onto stage. Now they load, but one article in particular takes over 20 seconds when I test it on my machine which leads me to believe that is flash player that is choking.

So if anyone has any insight on how to fix a problem like this that would be great.
