title: my sitemap.xml is taking forever to load
body: <p>So I made a php script which just reads pages from database (around 25k URLs) and writes them to sitemap.xml in root directory of website.</p>
  
  <p>XML file size is 4.6mb</p>
  
  <p>When I try to open the sitemap.xml, I get no errors, but it just takes like 3-4 minutes to load it in my browser. I'm just trying to load and see how it came out. </p>
  
  <p>I used some web xml validator which points to the URL and it said it is valid and without errors, so that's not the issue.</p>
  
  <p>I'm just worried that, with the long load times, it might throw search engines off? I mean, 4.5mb should download within 10 seconds!</p>
