This just isn't true. It is a give and take. An XML interface allows a common coding architecture which then can allow applications to be delivered faster and less buggy. If the CPU is fast enough so that the overhead is small enough, then corporations will choose the less-performant solution to get to delivery faster with higher quality. It has happened this way throughout the life of technology.
