Most XML related modules on CPAN use some library written in C(++) to do the actual parsing. expat and libxml are most common. What they differ in is their level and interface. See http://xmltwig.com/article/ways_to_rome/ways_to_rome.html Also ... usualy the developer's time is more expensive than the computer's. How big XMLs are you gonna process, how often and what kind of processing do you need to do? It may be wise to use a little higher level module and save on development time.
