Yes, it takes some time to download - 31 minutes resulting in a 7.1 MB ePub (and a very hot processor) on this end - but I agree, that has to do with the sheer amount of content.
But the WSJ is a daily, and this recipe includes articles from more than a month ago (these have a lot of pictures also ;-). So maybe it is an idea to restrict the articles to those that have been published in say, the last two days. The webpage for the article has the publication date, so some clever date parsing will do the trick.
There are other techniques for optimizing, but they tend to make a big mess of your code, and frankly I think they will turn out to be waste of time.
