Since the data is already deserialized, there is no delay due to processing. The idea is that the data has already been entered into a database which implements a DOM interface (the database is free to implement other interfaces as well). I never claimed that the data was entered as XML or that a serialized XML document ever existed. Your entire argument assumes that there is a need to parse XML into an in-memory DOM during the processing phase. This is incorrect.
