I am using the stream parser. And although that seems a little slow
it's ok. What I'm stuck with being too slow is the XPath support. If I
can't get libxml to work I guess I'll have to end up creating a small
ruby extension just to wrap the C libxml xpath support. My needs are
very simple so this should be easy, but I was hoping there was another
way.
