I think XPath is fast enough.
Experience: Use of large XPath expressions (>250) making extensive use of the 
document() function several times (>10) in each single xslt transformation of 
websites (pages >250) using Ant, Xalan, Xerces and Java.

If the implementation of XPath in a UA would be only half as fast as that of 
Xalan (which isn't know for speed anyway), instant response for any web page 
<200kB is guaranteed I think.
