Retrieve only a portion of an XML feed
<p>I'm using Scrapy XMLFeedSpider to parse a big XML feed(60MB) from a website, and i was just wondering if there is a way to retrieve only a portion of it instead of all 60MB because right now the RAM consumed is pretty high, maybe something to put in the link like:</p>

<p>"<a href="http://site/feed.xml?limit=10" rel="nofollow">http://site/feed.xml?limit=10</a>", i've searched if there is something similar to this but i haven't found anything.</p>

<p>Another option would be limit the items parsed by scrapy, but i don't know how to do that.Right now once the XMLFeedSpider parsed the whole document the bot will analyze only the first ten items, but i supposes that the whole feed will still be in the memory.
Have you any idea on how to improve the bot's performance , diminishing the RAM and CPU consumption? Thanks</p>
