Hi Chang, I really don't think that usage of many storeXPath may become a performance issue. The question is rather if it allows you to correctly reuse the values you saved. Otherwise I don't see any problem with storeXPath used within a <repeat> to iterate over all table's rows.
Otherwise have a look at htmlunit's JavaDoc to see the usage of HtmlUnitXPath http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/apidocs/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/html/xpath/HtmlUnitXPath.html Marc.
