Interesting, thanks for the info.. that said, you can still obviously read xml files into memory and hold them there if speed is the issue, I think its still easier to edit XML files rather than however its done with a BLOB (I've only used blobs myself when programming a Java app and persisting Java objects to a DB so maybe I don't have the full picture), anyways if they did that with XML they just need to expose mechanism to reload XML files after changes are made (to avoid needing to do a reboot, like Windows)
