`ElementTree` is slow? Try `lxml` with XPath—it’s like night and day.
For huge files, `iterparse` is a lifesaver. Doesn’t matter if it’s `ElementTree` or `lxml`, just don’t load the whole thing at once.
Validation? Schemas are good, but if you’re lazy, just wrap it in a try-catch and hope for the best.
Bonus tip: `xmltodict` is great for quick and dirty parsing. Not for production, but awesome for scripts.
