Definitely an underspecified question. Given what you've told us, it sounds like DOM (or possibly XPath) operations to extract the how-many-copies data, followed by tree-copying using the DOM's importNode() operation, would do the job and would likely be faster.

Here are some related questions for consideration. Are the replicated DOM's all different? If they are to be all the same and (read-only), you might get by having multiple threads share the same DOM source. This means that you are not updating the source DOM with nodeset fragments.
