Speed up data set calls

Question

Hey
I am currently working on a timetable lookup system. I have 2
tables setup, each with 35 cells and each searching through over
1000 lines of XML. As you can imagine this takes bloomin ages!
Is there any way to speed this process up? You can see the
code I am using below
SCRIPT:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// Decipher the username
var username = '03ROSSMI';
var y7Year = Number(username.substr(0,2));
var firstname3D = username.substr(2,3);
var firstname3D = firstname3D.toUpperCase();
var lastname3D = username.substr(5,7);
var lastname3D = lastname3D.toUpperCase();
// Work out what year the student is in
var date = new Date();
var year = String(date.getFullYear());
var year2D = Number(year.substr(3));
var yearGroup = (year2D - y7Year)+7;
// Dynamically setup the XML data set
var timetable = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data/year"+yearGroup+"abc.xml",
"SuperStarReport/Record");
function displayData(Name, session, ChosenName, Surname)
// Convert the student's first and last name into a 3 digit
format and make it uppercase
var ChosenName3D = ChosenName.substr(0,3);
var ChosenName3D = ChosenName3D.toUpperCase();
var Surname3D = Surname.substr(0,3);
var Surname3D = Surname3D.toUpperCase();
// If the session name, first name and last name all match
then return true
if(Name == session && ChosenName3D == firstname3D
&& Surname3D == lastname3D)
return true;
else
return false;
