I don't know of any.

I used "quite good performance" as a summary of:
  1. The savings in development and maintenance costs are high enough to 
justify using XPath;
  2. No application performance issue ever forced me to revert to iterate and 
recurse;
  3. I never ran any benchmark comparing the 2 approaches.
