I would have to agree with Gary on this one.  As far as I can tell, if 
you're processing a million xml files, you're going to be limited by 
hardware requirements on your Windows box; if you want to speed the i/o 
up, get a Cheetah or more processor power/RAM.  If you do the coding for 
the xml dump on the fly, you're going to cut down your access time 
signficantly (I would imagine).  As it is, even just reading the file 
directory of a million files is going to hang (or crash!) your PC.
