In all my tests, parsing xml has always turned out to be essentially negligible.
with cElementTree, it is really fast.  Other things tend to dominate, like
computing the set of inclusions for a given revision in preparation for weave
extraction.  If you can reasonably speed _that_ up (at least for typical use
cases) then you might see some significant return on your investment
effort-wise.
