Subject: ruby xml parser opinions?

I'm revisiting an app that uses libxml for xml work.  Wondering if
anyone has opinions on what is the best available XML parser for Ruby?

REXML seems to get trashed at every opportunity.  Hpricot is getting
some good press, but is it better than libxml?  Most posts I've seen
when someone chooses hpricot over libxml is because they are running
on Windows.

Found this post "http://yomi.at/archives/19" which seems recent and
clearly shows libxml as the parser of choice when speed is the primary
consideration.

Any thoughts?
