Lars, could you make your timing scripts available? Just for fun I ran 
hamlet.xml through James Clark's xmltok (or, actually, through the xmlwf 
program that comes with it), and it clocks at 0.07 seconds on my SGI O2 (180 
Mhz R5000).

Since the API appears pretty pythonizeable this appears to be a nice 
groundwork to start getting better performance for python/xml...
