Hi,
The current routines for escaping XML in awful.util.[escape/unescape]
are not too good, both in terms of performance and accuracy. They use
multiple gsubs, generating a new string each time, which is instantly
discarded and must then be garbage-collected, etc.
Also they fail in some situations:
> return unescape(escape("<amp;"))
<amp;
> return awful.util.unescape("&quot;");
"
etc.

Regards,
Matthew.
