my app is based on data, that I get from the web, in XML. I implemented the NSXMLParser, and it works really good. the only (major) problem, is that the launch of the app takes about 25 seconds!!! (the parser needs to parse 30 objects, each object has 5-7 elements- all are url's/strings). so, it takes long time to start/end element, parse it, insert it to the right array, and so on...
Does parsing with Gdata or other api/object will take less time?
