paphio:~ -> ls -l tst5000.xml
-rw-rw-r--  1 veillard www 580015 Aug 26 14:46 tst5000.xml
paphio:~/gamin -> wc -l tst5000.xml
30002 tst5000.xml
paphio:~ -> /usr/bin/xmllint --timing --noout tst5000.xml
Parsing took 75 ms
Freeing took 41 ms
paphio:~ ->

  I can't tell for the GtkTreeView and rendering but libxml2 should parse
it in less than a tenth of a second, in most use case xml parsing speed
is I/O bound !
