WordPress RSS Feed Timeout During Feed Validation
I have a WordPress blog installed on a Windows Server. The blog is working fine, however, the RSS feed is VERY slow. When I use a feed validator it returns a timeout. When I browse to it via web browser it eventually shows up but very slow.
The blog URL is blog.greeneconsults.com
The feed URL is blog.greeneconsults.com/fe ed
I have looked all over the web and am still at a loss. Some pointers would be greatly appreciated.

It could be a caching issue. Try placing this in your functions.php file:
function do_not_cache_feeds(&$feed) {
$feed->enable_cache(false);
}
add_action( 'wp_feed_options', 'do_not_cache_feeds' );
I can confirm that clicking the link in Dzynit's post produced the feed quickly in Firefox.
It also validated quickly using w3.org's validator
http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.greeneconsults.com%2Ffeed

Thanks to everyone who contributed.
The only way I got a fail on it was testing it in a program that lets you set the display formatting - if I entered it as blog.greeneconsults.com/fe
But entering http://blog.greeneconsults.com/feed it worked perfectly.
