The SAX parser would probably be the fastest, although the classic DOM might be very close. Either
way, you're probably well into go-get-a-cup-of-coffee-while-it-parses territory with 4000 nodes.
At this point, you may be better served to load the XML up into a native parser and accept the
browser limitations that requires.
I'm not familiar enough with json to say if it will help or not - sorry...
