I am gleaning that from personal testing. That test script is very system-dependent, unfortunately, so not meaningfully distributed. But to clarify a bit, I tested with the ExpatXS module and using the M::R::new_from_xml() method. Creating the new object from an XML record with 1,000 embedded 952 tags took half the amount of time in ExpatXS as compared to LibXML::Parser.

Expat is considerably faster than the LibXML implementation,
What is your source for this information? A quick Google search seems to suggest that Expat is a bit faster, but not much.
