title: Get youtube video information faster
body: <p>Right now I am getting the information of a youtube video by using the Data API Protocol
  Visiting this url displays the information I need, but its much too slow for doing a dozen queries. It takes around 10 seconds to get 24 videos. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to send multiple queries in 1 request or another method for 
  getting the information faster? Right now I am only using this to get the ratings.</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/[video id] 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>edit: at this moment I am getting it via php with get_file_contents().
  Is there a faster page downloading function than that?</p>
