Anyone else using Zend's Flickr library?

[eluser]dmorin[/eluser]
So I followed the directions to get some Zend libraries working in CodeIgniter (http://www.4webby.com/freakauth/tutorial...de-igniter). My problem is that when I use the Zend flickr library, it is Extremely Slow. I'm returning all images by tag, pulling back 100 at a time using the exact code that is in the tutorial, except instead of writing out the image tags, I'm just writing out a timestamp in the foreach loop. I'm only getting 3-4 per second. So for 100 images, it takes 25 seconds just to process the URLs!

Is anyone else doing this? Any ideas how I can improve the performance? If not, what flickr library are you using?

Thanks.

I use this library:

I am not sure if it is missing advanced features as I am only using basic functionality.
