+The cElementTree module is a C implementation of the ElementTree API.
+On typical documents, it's 15-20 times faster than the Python version
+of ElementTree, and uses 2-5 times less memory. On modern hardware,
+that means that documents in the 50-100 megabyte range can be manipulated
+in memory, and that documents in the 0-1 megabyte range load in zero
+time (0.0 seconds). This allows you to drastically simplify many kinds
+of XML applications.
