I was under the impression (though I could be wrong; it's a vague
memory from a while ago) that more of the performance difference
between the two was related to the time (and memory) overhead of
having to construct (and then later destroy) JS wrappers for all the
nodes in the DOM case (but not the innerHTML-setting case) rather
than the parsing.
