I am not sure what is the difference between findall() and xpath(). Could anybody show all the examples in which they are different?

Does this help? http://lxml.de/tutorial.html#elementpath

Also, I see that findall() can be faster. Is it case that when I can use both, I should use findall() instead of xpath()?

IMHO yes. Or rather, iterate instead of requesting a complete result list whenever you can. Stefan
