Hmm, well it compiles a lot faster and runs blisteringly quickly, but a
comparison would not really be valid as it does not appear to do any
checking as to whether a document is well formed.
For example, this:

        <foo>
        </bar>

Is successfully parsed as this:

        <bar>
        </bar>

Which is not correct.

Nonetheless, it's nice that compiling it with -O6 takes minutes rather
than hours - is this particular sluggishness due to all the introduced
preds involved with higher order code? Compiler dudes?
