That sounds suspicious. Parsing has a lot more overhead than just
writing out text strings. I suspect the real comparison here may be
between a system that does full well-formedness checking and one that
doesn't. Many systems can blast XML out pretty quickly using printf or
equivalent. They don't necessarily need to call a method for each tag or
text node or check well-formedness on output.
