Consider taking a parsed MiniDOM tree as a benchmark. It contains so many instances of just a couple of different classes that it just has to make a huge difference if each of those instances is even just a bit smaller. It should also make a clear difference for plain Python ElementTree.

Of course, for minidom, Mark's current implementation should already save quite a lot of memory, since all elements and text nodes have the same attributes.

Still, it would be good to see how Mark's implementation deals with that.
