    You can use simpleXML or another XML parser to convert the XML to usable content for your site. However, the feed itself is so slow (at least where I'm at) there would be no possible way to use it directly in a web page without some serious usability issues,

    If the feed is that slow for you, you are going to want to design a caching system, and use an XML parser to put the data on your site.
