The fastest way of doing something is generally not to do it at all,
and so if you are going to process the same document more than once,
you can use something like dbxml to store it in a perl-accessible
data structure (accessed with XQuery in that case).

For the Efficient XML Interchange work at W3C, some documents and
measurements were published.  But people are using XML in such diverse
ways that I'm not sure it's possible to find a "representative" sample.
There are people with petabytes of XML (using XQuery at least) and
people with documents restricted to fit in 4KByte packets...

I don't know if anyone has made a perl interface to EXI yet.
