I was actually thinking about working on this on my flight home tomorrow,
actually. It depends how tired I am. In order to stay awake on flights I work
on projects like this, that do not require any outside input.

Plack is not ready for production in my opinion, so I wasn't going to suggest
it. Memcached is good, but not a silver bullet. For this, an mmap'd cache might
be useful. I will experiment if I work on the problem.

If we can get drastically better performance using a different XML parser I
think I might prefer that to switching to YAML, even if the other parser
requires some massaging of the output data structure.
