It's external to the actual *.xml file.

I looked at the bookmarks.xml in a text editor. It appears to keep 
only the URL info here. Folder info must be elsewhere; one of the 
other KDE config files. This might be some of the reason it's so slow 
with a large link file that has to be checked and matched to a folder 
file everytime a chnage is made or a link is added. Parsing the XML 
file is obviously taking some time.

Oye! I'd want to start the process with the intent of going out 
shopping with the wife. You know how long THAT kind of a trip would 
take. ;0]
