I use the MS xml parser that comes with IE5.5, I *assume* it is compiled, though generating xml adds huge overhead compared to other mechanisms...
Not sure I agree about VFP being the "slouch" at data presentation... this is probably the case with the standard VFP UI for a number of well-known reasons, but those of us who do web stuff know that VFP is a very quick little beast especially once you start doing asp-type stuff.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
