Very complicated question that depends a significant amount on the style and
size of document that you are processing.
You should definitely take a look at "Inside MSXML Performance" at

modified
this test to test the current Xerces-C DOM implementation and a prototype
Xerces-C DOM
implementation http://www.apache.org/~andyh/ Some of the tests are not
terrible representative (for example, I think the Old Testament has 0
attributes in the document).
Dennis Sosnoski has recently published a set of benchmarks against a variety
of XML document models for the Java platform including DOM (Crimson,
Xerces), dom4j, JDOM and Electric.

There is an XMark project (primarily focused on XQuery performance) at
http://www.xml-benchmark.org
None of those are going to give you the answer that you seek, but they
should help you know the question better.
