Is there anything I can do to speed this script up?

[jrhessey]

Right now the way I'm pulling the data from the page using r is taking anywhere from 30-50 seconds for each game. Is there another way I could do this and shorten the wait time?? Pulling the data from the old xml based site I could pull the previous days games in roughly a couple minutes.

Any ideas/help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
