Using Libprs500 for 505

Hi, I installed Libprs500 today and have been using the "Fetch News".
Is there a way to speed it up? I'm on DSL. The CNN feed worked. CNN took about 8 minutes. Finally, the WSJ feed worked. WSJ took 21 minutes.

Agony. Can that be made shorter?

2nd question.
When I turn on my PRS-505 and go to the Wall Street Journal, it takes forever to format.
It says, "Formatting" and the progress arrows circle each other for - forever.

Any way to speed that up? Maybe if I preview it inside Libprs500 and then transfer it?

3rd question.
I'm finding that any ebook, generally, if over 1 mb, is taking too long to parse/format on the PRS-505 to wait to show up. Maybe 3 mb. For example, the Bible took forever.
The apocalypse might....ok, too easy to make a joke there.
Anyways, question is can I speed it up anyway? Or is this going with the territory?
