$feed_updated = filemtime('mysaved.xml');
$current_time = time();
if($current_time - $feed_updated >= 300) {
        $xml_feed_url = 'https://chaturbate.com/affiliates/api/onlinerooms/?format=xml&wm=0CLZb';
        $savefile = "yes";
} else {
        $xml_feed_url = 'http://www.bestfreecamgirls.com/mysaved.xml';
        $savefile = "no";
        echo " testing - using saved";
}

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $xml_feed_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,5);


$xml = curl_exec($ch);
if ($savefile == "yes"){
    file_put_contents('mysaved.xml', $xml);}

curl_close($ch);

Why do the page pull (curl) each time? You have the feed saved as mysaved.xml every 5 minutes. Just use that file as the feed in the program and don't do the curl every time.
