Sure it's faster. It's plain c (or++) code and won't internally use QString.

But - here comes a QUESTION:

KConfig lives in kdecore. Using libxml on this "low" level might cause an 
unwanted dependecy on a non-KDE library. Would this be acceptable?

As a 3rd alternative one could dare to implement a hand-crafted xml parser. As 
long as we would deny the use of namespaces and CDATA sections in xml this 
would not be too much work.
