Android SAX parsing retrieval very slow

In my app i have some 50 to 100 data to be parsed...also some images within 2 MB size...All these are to be retrieved to a single activity and are sorted and displayed there...

But its taking about 2 minutes...thats too much.

What to do for reducing the parse time?

Or am i wrong using SAX parsing???Suggestions please....

SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
       SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
       XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
 
       /** Send URL to parse XML Tags */
       URL sourceUrl = new URL(url);
 
       /** Create handler to handle XML Tags ( extends DefaultHandler ) */
       XmlHandler xmlHandler4Profile = new XmlHandler();
       xr.setContentHandler(xmlHandler4Profile);
       xr.parse(new InputSource(sourceUrl.openStream()));
 
       }
