It would be usefull if XBMC had support for LXML. LXML is a library capable of processing HTML,XML but a lot faster then Beautifulsoup, I know it's implemented in C so
multiple versions should be shipped for the different arch's I guess.
Still the library parses HTML/XML faster then the other competitors:

With these speed / memory benefits video addons could be rewritten and would feel a lot faster. LXML also parses faulty html better then beautifulsoup
