It depends on where the bottleneck is. If the problem is too much network traffic (which seems likely on a shared host) then there's not much you can do. If it's an issue of processing the results taking too long you may be able to speed it up by optimizing your code.

 

Make sure your code is optimized so it will process results quickly. Do some benchmarks and profiling to determine where your code spends most of its time and see if there is any way to improve that area of code.

 

Attempt to download different pages in parallel to make use of all the bandwidth you have available. You can do this with cURL and there are libraries available to make it easier.

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of way to "optimize" code. It all depends on what your code is specifically doing. If you are running queries in loops - don't. If you are using RegEx try and find string function alternatives, etc. etc. etc. It is a waste of time for us to try and suggest optimizations that may be appropriate for your need without seeing any code.
