To be fair, we never entirely established that (did we?). The BSON
encoder part of the MongoDB library we're using is in C. If it's still
slow beyond that, it seems like it's something to take up in the
Python C based MongoDB BSON encoder...

My inclination here is to make a few other changes first. Namely:

1) Get better hardware
2) Move the database and XML parser to two different hosts
3) Get a standard testing suite.
