Why Python is useless for serious XML processing
I have a Python application in which, for my sins, I decided to use XML as an on-disk storage format. Unfortunately, when I made this decision, I neglected to measure the performance of the available Python XML processing implementations.

In addition, this "performance test" amused me. It took 2.5 sec on a 2.5 MB file -> 1 MB/sec.

That's hardly enough data to make that conclusion. Perhaps there is some "start up cost" that is the bulk of that.
