The parsing is not done "online".  The .tar.gz file is first downloaded to a 
temporary directory (the location of which is printed to the screen after the 
download for later use).  If you already have a .tar.gz file downloaded, you 
can supply the filename to the getGEO() function to skip the download part.  
See the help for getGEO().

Hope that helps.
