hi,

why not store your documents inside a native XML database ?

-you'd have to parse your documents only once (+ each time you update 
one) when you load the database : at this stage the performances are not 
critical

-you could access the entire collection with XQuery that allow to 
extract what is expected in your application ; at this stage no further 
parsing is needed

for example :
http://exist-db.org/
