Can you show some sample entries?  That way we can get an idea how your 
datastore looks like.

By the way, 10000 doesn't sound that much. At work I create python 
programs which do data processing and ofter have this much entries in a 
dictionary, often more.

XML is meant to be an exchange format; it is not designed for storage or 
fast retrieval.
