The biggest suckage in Geo::Track::Log is that my GPX parsing is

How well does your pure perl version work?
Well it works fine - but it's only as fast as XML::Parser (which
doesn't seem /too/ slow)
GPSBabel is so much faster...personally I'd rather do
NMEA -> gpsbabel -> something faster to parse than GPX,
even text -> Perl something parser -> perl data structure
Even cooler would be to leave the data within gpsbabel's internal
structure and have a perl wrapper to access the data.
Indeed - and that's still a possibility. But gpsbabel's internal data
structures are pretty complex.
In a sense it doesn't matter (yet) as long as I can keep the
interface consistent. gpsbabel is already pretty good about exposing
its capabilities [1] and I have plans in that area too :)
[1] gpsbabel -^3
gpsbabel -%1
