How to retrieve and parse large amount of XML data?

In my iPhone app, I am requ开发者_运维百科esting XML data, and I am getting the data correctly and displaying it in a table view. I have one issue, which is that the XML is about 16MB. It's taking too much time, nearly 3-5 minutes, to get the data and to load it in the table view. How can I resolve this?

Can I split off part of the data first and then subsequently parse the rest?

Thanks in advance.
