Performance is an area we've been neglecting for the past few releases, and one which we plan to address after beta-2. Right now we're doing way too much work during deserialization (recording SAX events, etc) in situations where we don't need to be, so I don't doubt that the RI is much faster.
The Sun RI also uses a custom pull-parser, which is pretty much the fastest parsing technology you can build. We chose to go with standard JAXP (SAX) APIs to allow developer-friendliness and the ability to use whatever parser you already have kicking around, though we may revisit this in the future as well (esp if a standard pull parser API is developed as a JSR). Try the tests again after our next run at performance optimization.
