Yes I see that I'm using old pyexpat with new qp_xml.

Has pyexpat improved? I'm having trouble beating Aaron's pure python
recursive descent parser and qp_xml with old pyexpat running on
hamlet.xml. His hackery gives 1.65" and qp_xml does 2.2"; I'm fairly
sure his parser isn't complete, but it is a bit weird that the C
tokenising etc doesn't beat it by a mile.
