One thing you could do different is to keep the image source and title strings directly in the XML object, since it is already loaded in memory, no reason to create another copy of it in memory.  A slideshow is a linear arrangement but frequently the user can jump around so it isn't necessary to have things in linear order.  You end up using the id names.  If you have a large number of images, say your slideshow totals into the 100's of megs, it may be better to load them on demand, not all at once.         This is the best tutorial/example I’ve found on the subject.
