Parsing JSON v XML
Parsing the content as JSON appears to be twice as fast as parsing XML. It is a big change to the server code to switch existing feeds over to json, but the payoff is worth it. I'll need to run some...

Parsing 208 content items. XML takes 1.4749, JSON takes 0.3996, so about 4 times faster to use json. In actual operation it's the difference between an execution timeout with about 330 items, and successfully parsing 500+ items without a timeout (2 seconds vs 5+ seconds).
I have to admit, the profiler numbers don't speak to me - no idea what they show - but i am happy with your summary. Any observations on the file sizes and transfer times?
Timeouts? Where are you getting timeouts... not in a Task i hope, that should never time out?
