Summary: Use cElementTree instead of BeautifulSoup, if installed

Initial Comment:
Use cElementTree instead of BeautifulSoup, if available!

cElementTree is much much faster, and uses less memory. See:

yes, cElementTree is definitely faster. Rev5461 uses (c)ElementTree when
available, and BS when it's not.

Thanks for the diagnosis :)
