Friedrich, thanks for your response.  Since my current XML document is
fairly simple, I could of course just paste some pre-fabricated
strings together.  For more complex documents this would however not
be a satisfying solution.

The reason I though I should ask on the list is that it seems to me
that the extremely poor performance could be due to a bug in the XML
package.
