Sorry for the delay in replying. The numbers are derived from running a profiler on the code and looking at the amount of time spent in each call. For each XML-RPC call the time spent in MinML.parse() was about 60% of the overall time taken to complete the call, which is 150ms when not running a profiler.
That is an invalid conclusion, IMO. The absolut time being spent in MinML.parse() will almost certainly contain more than just parsing.
