  In case the performance is not good enough, please consider the following : no more configuration file indicating where the files required are, hard code of formulas, and go to complete non evolutive code : get 1 access to xml file and context, and then make recursive descent to get all you need(investigation of libxml2 source code would be so needed to prove it's better to go recursive than just xpath).
