Performance depends on not just the language but also the engineering
effort put into implementation.  The amount of engineering effort that has
been put into XML parsers is many orders of magnitude greater than what has
been put into MicroXML parsers.  So I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for
substantial performance improvements.

I think we need cool and interesting stuff built on top of MicroXML (easier
said than done, of course).  Parsers by themselves don't get us very far.

I see error recovery as one area where there is potential to do much better
than XML.
