A while ago I had problems with parsing and processing a large XML. It was too slow even after utilizing some tricks and optimizations, so I decided to convert the XML into an ActionScript source file containing "constant" arrays and objects. This AS file was then compiled into swf, loaded into the main movie and it became much more faster, there was no noticable processing time. Since on CD you will not need an editable XML, maybe you can try such way, too.
