Given the modern JIT and DOM bindings, I am very doubtful that you will
encounter JS-based or binding-based bottlenecks for xpath expression. The
calls from C++ to your JS-implemented XPCOM component will indeed be slow.
But hopefully you can find a way to batch them up so that they're not in
the tight loop.

Not that I'm aware of unfortunately.
