Move to XML::LibXML / HTML::TreeBuilder::LibXML for speed improvements?

[SysPete]

Now the Parse::RecDescent issue is fixed the next target has to be XML::Twig and friends:

Stmts	Exclusive Time	Reports	Source File
46165	2.03s	line	XML/Twig.pm (including 22 string evals)
589249	773ms	line	HTML/Element.pm
209395	324ms	line	HTML/TreeBuilder.pm
8	28.8ms	line	Template/Flute.pm (including 3 string evals)

Perhaps we could move parsing to XML::LibXML perhaps via HTML::TreeBuilder::LibXML so we get lots of backend speed?

That would have some merits, however that is a big task.

Makes a lot of sense though :-)

HTML::TreeBuilder has seen its last release in 2012 ...

But using XML::LibXML with a convenience layer should be sufficient.
