RE: [PEAR-DEV] [rfc] permissions managment

XML has the advantage of being easier for other languages to work with. In terms of speed this is the first thing that got me woried too. But Markus said that you can also pass an array to it. So all you have to do is cache the parsed xml and pass that to LiveUser instead of an xml file.
