You are right. XML is always very chatty. Having an oververbose format in string and a resource intensive representation like DOM does not help when you are looking at scalability. To me scalability includes cross-platform handling as well. So there is less choice than to use the most reliable format/protocol available. And that seems to be XML with an utf-X encoding.

The xml parser that we used to have and the one we have now have less in common. The actual one is pretty good. And there is a talented developer that cares a lot about improving things. If there are still problems I promise he is all ears.
