From my own experiences, using XML data sources leads to poorer performance because of the parsing overhead, so I wouldn't suggest using them for large-scale projects.
I find it odd that you would say that especially in light of the info Matt just posted about performance. In my experience with my site having been slashdotted and boingboing'ed (I had in one day 120 000 hits and 19 000 pages) the performance has been very smooth on a minimal box. This is all due to caching - when I left caching off another time the server got totally slugged (oops) due to a boingboing'ing.
I never replied to Matt's thread but I want to say that when I picked AxKit it was partially due to the promise of fantastic scalability due to caching - and that's been borne out for me by experience.
I also credit my success to heavy-duty use of CSS to keep the page sizes way down.
