Hi Rui,

actually, as we're using a content management system I think it's  
better to use the modules it provides for generating RSS feeds than  
to write our own new thing on top. The load our script causes is  
minimal anyway as Typo3 uses many layers of caching and rendering the  
new page does not take a lot of processing power.
