ah, ok...
so we could possibly use the turbomarc format internally within koha, and just 
transform it to marcxml for writing out to zebra, when needed
sounds do-able :)

i guess we would need to patch MARC::File::XML, to correctly parse a turbomarc 
record?

fyi: according to this url, turbomarc parsing is 4-5 times faster that marcxml. 
so its definitely something to have a look at :)

just curious, is it worth switching back to the plain old MARC format 
internally for Koha, for an extra speed increase?

i cant remember what the advantage was in moving to marcxml? (other than 
marcxml being easier to read, for a human)
