[Qgis-developer] QtXml is no longer maintained in Qt5

[G. Allegri]

QtXml is really, damn slow. PyQt with QtXml is worst then lxml, just to
make a comparison. Switching to a streamlined xml parser would be
advisable, but I know it would a deep refactoring for a lot of QGIS's code.
Maybe it should be considered within the next big refactorings (geometry,
composer, etc.), but it won't be easy to find a sponsor specifically for
this...
