Dtd validators in general are going to be faster. And I think the most common reason I have seen for using DTD's over schemas is that a lot of people who are doing the spec work don't understand schemas. The two biggest barriers I have encountered in doing B2B XML integration is that first, many of those at the business level aren't used to being required to provide such a rich level of detail to their specs (and thinking through the implications of those decisions) and second, that they don't have XML expertise. Schemas exacerbate both of those problems, as they are a higher level of complexity.
