A question "is A faster than B" can only have a meaningful answer in respect
of a particular processor.
In general, a structure like <a/><b/><a/><b/>, in which relationships are
implied by adjacency, is bad news for XSLT, but you might get away with it
in this case. It's bad news because there's an object in your conceptual
model that doesn't map to an XML element, it maps to a pair of XML elements,
an a and a b.
