I tested the your string port version and I also wrote a "string-append" version of the xml reader and they are both slower by about 10-15% on my machine, when compared to the current read-xml implementation which uses `list->string`. It looks like `list->string` is not the bottleneck here.

I suggested using `string-append` because in my own performance investigations with reading 100Mb+ CSV files: constructing short tokens using string-append is faster than using a string port -- perhaps there is a fixed overhead with using string ports which makes `string-append` faster for

Thanks Alex for pointing out the use of list->string. I've created a PR ( https://github.com/racket/racket/pull/3275) that changes that code to use string ports instead (similar to Hendrik's suggestion, but the string port handles resizing automatically). Could someone (John?) with some large XML

If anyone wants to optimize `read-xml` for particular classes of use, without changing the interface, it might be very helpful to run your representative tests using the statistical profiler. The profiler text report takes a little while of tracing through manually to get a feel for how to
