I'm assuming you've tried using regex to get at the content you want? if the site is coded xhtml strict, you could always parse as xml, but that might actually be slower.
maximillion is right, I think. set up a cron job to download and process that content ahead of time. if your site's traffic spikes really high, the scraping might process might be too much load on the server. if it's 1.5 secs with one user, imagine 30+, at one time.
