thanks. I also looked arround, and the methods you linked to are not 
what i prefer.
Have a look to this slides from one of the php-devs:
http://www.slideshare.net/tobyS/xml-and-xpath-with-php

It's clear that XMLReader is the one prefered as it's the only way to 
stream the data without loading complete xml to memory.

   Okay, this is now completely off-topic.

i don't consider this as off-topic as the caching is one side, the 
optimizing of xml2array is the main reason for this patch :)
