Just wanted to pitch in results with cDomlette.  Results below, updated script 
attached.

$ python dom-parse-perf.py
parser performance test
4DOM - 100 parses took 18.57 seconds, or 0.19 seconds/parse
minidom - 100 parses took 1.51 seconds, or 0.02 seconds/parse
cDomlette - 100 parses took 1.49 seconds, or 0.01 seconds/parse

Athlon 1800+ with 768MB RAM, Debian sarge 2.4.19, Python 2.2.
