What's the best way to parse HTML/XML efficiently with lxml Python? or How do you handle large XML fi

Speed tips? Use `lxml.etree` with `remove_blank_text=True` if your XML has lots of whitespace. Saves parsing time.

Also, avoid parsing the same file repeatedly. Load it once, then work with the tree.

`iterparse()` is great, but only if you *need* streaming. Otherwise, it’s extra work for no gain.
