RE: optimize XPath query to speed up processing

Is "/*/*/section|/*/*/*/section|/*/*/*/*/section" more efficient than
"//section"?
Yes, because "//section" will not stop when it finds a section, it will continue looking within any found section for any descendent section all the way to every element leaf of the node tree.
