Zend & PHP Coder Required for linking with Google Docs

I have a Magento store. I have stock listed in a google docs spreadsheet. I have code, which incorporates the Zend library, which was previously working, which uploads the stock from google to magento. It is on an external piece of code, ie it does not need specific Magento coding skills. It has recently stopped working with this error: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Gdata_App_HttpException' with message 'Read timed out after 10 seconds' in /home/site/public_html/lib/Zend/Gdata/[login to view URL] It was running a bit slow before and would sometimes time out, so what I need here is: - the thing working again - the code optimised for speed - this will need a very experienced PHP coder, with zend experience. I have unnecessary loops and so on. The way I have it now is that it writes a few files so that it knows what has changed. Thanks
