generating an array with all the data is faster than throwing things 
into the phplib template engine to generate xml.

Actually the performance of using xslt is fine in comparison to phplib 
templates. The reason for this is that xslt gets done by the C code 
instead of the PHP code that needs to be compiled and does a really bad 
job of donig too much data copying.
