The big speed win was figuring out a way to handle cdata sections
without more than one character of lookahead.  Getting rid of the
userspace lookahead buffer and going back to read-char / unread-char
accounts for almost all of the speedup.  It's now roughly as fast as
your library in my tests.

SOAP does seem pretty hairy.  Moreso than it needs to be, really. 
Still, it's hard to avoid it these days.
