Great idea. Though I think that runtime performance is not necessarily the sole criteria on which a product should be chosen. Developer productivity is important, as is the problem you're trying to solve. So I think it'd be great to document which tools is best for which jobs. Where JAXP and Castor are strong is when you have a well agreed schema (XML Schema for Castor or a DTD in the case of JAXB, last time I looked) and want to generate beans for parsting & processing the XML. Betwixt is strong is when you've already got the beans and just want a nice looking XML format to serialize/deserialize your beans. Or you want to automate the creation of Digsester rules using some bean naming conventions. I've added this to the TODO list on the website...
