1500 entries shouldn't be a problem for queries either using DOM (in memory) or XPath or even XQuery. If your app grows to 150000 it might stat to be a problem, and if you get over a million entries I'd definitely start thinking about regular RDBMS. The other feature is that for ~1500 entries the size of the files will be about the same but anything bigger than that and the XML version will quickly start to fill your disks...
