I'm sure there are other things making it slow; I just wrote a class that
reads all the entries xml files and fetches the version fields from them.
This I ran in KOffice (which has 483 dirs under version control).
Result; 7.1 milliseconds per parsed XML.

Oh; this was done in jit-compiled Java; I hope you will agree that this test
will not read xmls significantly faster then your c-library.
