Do you guys think that storing the data in an XML file and using the XPATH search will be faster than the text file search?

I would make a guess that a widely-used XML parser and XPath search engine will have been more carefully optimized than your home-grown equivalent, but that's only a guess, since you haven't provided any numbers.
