you misunderstood, I replaced regexp parsing with elementtree (I wasn't saying it was the fault of the regular expressions but the replacement code). the new code is slower and doesn't use regular expressions. The speed is due to the speed of elementtree. Blame python ;-) Unfortunately cElementTree which should be multiple times faster is being problematic, so I'm not using that currently.
Python is horribly slow on the pi anyway (pythons fault or just due to resources being used by xbmc ?). If you run a pi, you should also be patient - the original Xbox is far quicker for Python code.
