beautifulsoup

i have code that uses BeautifulSoup library for parsing. But it is very slow. The code is written in such a way that threads cannot be used. Can anyone help me about this?

I am using beautifulsoup library for parsing and than save in DB. if i comment the save statement, than still it takes time so there is no problem with database.

def parse(self,text):                
                soup = BeautifulSoup(text)
                arr = soup.findAll('tbody')                




                for i in range(0,len(arr)-1):
                        data=Data()
                        soup2 = BeautifulSoup(str(arr[i]))
                        arr2 = soup2.findAll('td')

                        c=0
                        for j in arr2:                                       
                                if str(j).find("<a href=") > 0:
                                        data.sourceURL = self.getAttributeValue(str(j),'<a href="')
                                else:  
                                        if c == 2:
                                                data.Hits=j.renderContents()

                    #and few others...
                    #...        

                                c = c+1

            data.save()

Any suggestions?

Note: I already ask this question here but that was closed due to incomplete information.
