The issue wasn't that the data is strictly relational, it's just that my experience with relational databases makes me think this would be faster using an RDBMS. (or and OODBMS, or object serialization, or... you get the picture?) The point is - XML fits our problem domain perfectly well. It's just not fast when parsing directly. Ultimately we may have to turn the architecture on it's head - store in a database (relational or OO) and transmit XML to the client. If they want to edit the XML by hand, transmit some to them, and parse the results back into the database. This will be a disappointment to me, but not the end of the world.
