Currently I've replaced libxml2 with libexpat + DOM in php, that solution saved 400K in PHP.
I am pretty sure performance of DOM won't be same but that suits my needs.
I've experienced problems with finding correct parameters for configure, and finished with passing --disable-all and --enable-xxx for every feature i needed.

You'd have to be more precise with this list though on what you really need and if you've managed to figure out the dependencies which prevent you from achieving your goals.
