Don't use selectSingleNode. It's hard to tell without knowing more 
about your use case, but I suspect you can reduce this to one or a 
few calls to selectNodes (Or whatever Jaxen calls that functionality) 
that return a list you them iterate through, so you don't keep 
searching the document every time.
