From looking at the script, I don't think [but I may be wrong: I just gave it a cursorary glance] that it caches the RSS feeds.
Typically, an RSS transaction is as follows:
Every day / hour, your server checks its subscribed feeds, and caches the result. If the feeds have changed from the cached version, it updates. If not, it does nothing.
Your pages then update from your LOCAL copy every time they're loaded.
With RSS2HTML, and a few others of its ilk, I'm assuming [see disclaimer above] - that it does not cache at all - so every time your page loads, it sends out a request to fetch a copy of the RSS feed, process it, and display it.
Not only is this poor form on your end, because you will hammer the other server, but it's also a terrible waste of resources etc on your end.
I can recommend looking into a more fully fledged solution for RSS, such as Chio's stuff, or 'Magpie RSS'
