Instead, you may need to increase the update time until the site has more hits.

If instead, your site does have a lot of traffic ... check each feed to make sure the url is still valid. A bad url could slow down the update process.

My site is currently very small, as it is a private site for me and about 15 other friends. I set each feed to update every 5 minutes. The cron runs every 15 minutes.

My site is still horribly slow, like 5 minutes to load. Please help.
