The .NET v2 parser is faster that the old C++ parser mostly because the C++ parser was a 1st gen XML parser while the .NET parser is ~3rd gen. Also, the C++ parser had to have namespace processing layered, because XML Namespaces as they are known now, didn't exist until the core of the parser was long done. If you took the same basic principles that make the .NET parser so fast, I am extremely confident you could build a faster C++ parser.
