If you are using Python, you should use iterparse from the ElementTree API, it

Faster than SAX? I'm not so sure. SAX calls the C directly.
Here is a benchmark: http://effbot.org/zone/celementtree.htm

Interesting, this totally uproots my firm conviction that SAX parsing is
always more time- and memory-efficient than tree/DOM-based parsing.
The article is 6 years old, do the benchmarks still hold in your experience?
