  My preferred way is to profile a single run of xmllint with the
--repeat --noout (as well as possibly --valid or just the SAX parsing)
on a significant instance, this allow to focuse the sampling on the
key operations:
    - parsing (events generation)
    - tree building
    - tree freeing
  Same for xsltproc when focusing on the XSLT engine.
