Subject: Performance comparison between screen scrapers

Does anyone know how the following screen scrapers perform against one
another?

* ScrAPI
* RubyfulSoup
* HTree
* Hpricot

I'm trying to write up a tool where a person enters in a URL, and I use
an AJAX call to scrape the contents of that URL for title, description,
etc.  So speed is really important (I suppose, regular expressions would
be the fastest, but I need something that is tree-based and supports
HTML tidying)

Thanks
Conrad
