Well, if it is true what people claim about dictionaries and tuples
being faster than objects, then you may see any supposed performance
advantage claimed by the PyRXP proponents just dissolve away as you
instantiate all those nodes. But as I noted with respect to "double
wrapping" libxml2, if you can restrict yourself to very few high-level
operations through those layers, and then invoke various "native"
methods directly, then it could still be worth it.
