well, i guess SCEW is a little bit slower than Expat. because it first
uses expat to load the xml tree (this step is as fast as Expat in
parsing terms and you must count the creation of the structre in
memory). after it is loaded you must call SCEW functions to get the
element, so we could say it does two steps.

but i'm sure is a lot more faster than using xerces or big parsers. i've
not created very complicated tree structures, because i wanted to be as
fast as possible, so may be it will feed your needs.
