Try a parser other than Xerces on the back end (see the alternate
SAXBuilder constructor calls).  Crimson/ProjectX for example.  We're
parser pluggable, and I bet you'll see a difference with different
parsers.

BTW, I bet your second parse would be a lot faster too because then the
JVM will have the large amt of Xerces code already loaded.
