I'm not sure whether this is the main performance issue, but last time I 
debugged through std.xml (yes, it's used in Visual D, aswell as 
std.json), I noticed that it suffers badly under bugs

because constant arrays with hundreds of elements are created on the 
stack whenever a character lookup is done. Fortunately, the files where 
it is used in Visual D are rather small.
