Is there a reason to not use GSEMatrix=TRUE?  That will be
significantly faster.  Over a wireless, it takes about 30 seconds.
When parsing the entire SOFT file, it could take several hours.  I
noticed that there are supplementary .CEL files available, also.  You
could use getGEOSuppFiles() to download those and process them local
using Bioconductor tools.

Let me know if you have further questions.
