Just tried, and - incredible - it took even longer: 46s. But in the second run it came back to 25s. I really don't understand what's going on. I did some other tests, and I found that all the code before "parser.parse(stout)" runs almost instantly; it then takes all the running somewhere between this call and the first event; and the rest is almost instantly again. Any ideas? By the way, I've read the pages you indicated at effbot, but I don't see where to begin. Do you know of a gentler introduction to this module (cElementTree)?
