That may be, but when I tried your code on
http://download.wikimedia.org/nowiki/20090729/nowiki-20090729-pages-articles.xml.bz2(after
unpacking of course) I got this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "search.py", line 5, in <module>
    print page.title
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe6' in position
1: ordinal not in range(128)

While my code ran like this:
$ time ./xml-search.pl nowiki-20090729-pages-articles.xml "\{\|" 0 > t.t
real    1m16.511s
user    1m15.657s
sys     0m0.856s
$ grep ^Searched t.t
Searched through 407565 articles and found 20889 matches

Give me some working code and I'll do a comparison.. :)
