I only brought up Tango in the first place to point out that it is a goal of the new std.xml to at least come close to Tango's performance in parsing XML, because Tango's XML parser is very fast.
The way to get a high performance string parser in D is to take advantage of one of D's unique features - slices. Java, C++, C#, etc., all rely on copying strings. With D you can just use slices into the original XML source text. If you're copying the text, you're doing it wrong.
