I strongly endorse Tim's point. I just wasted a weekend getting my
schema validator to dump the internal form of the 'compiled'
schema-for-schemas, on the _assumption_ that reloading that would be
faster than parsing/compiling the schema-document-for-schemas every
time I needed it. Wrong. Takes more than twice as long to reload the
binary image than to parse/compile the XML.
There are _lots_ of people out there working hard to make
parsing/writing XML blindingly fast. With respect, you're unlikely to
beat them.
