great! It was this!! On our production server we were still using version 
pyRXP-1.12 (from 2006-11-04) so you were even perfectly right with your guess 
of a couple of years ago! I've tested by removing the DTD line and it doesn't 
take a linear amount of time (WRT the number of parsing operation) anymore!!

Thanks a lot! 
We definitively need to upgrade our installation...

Best regards,

Ps infact I wasn't able to reproduce this on my testing machine, since I was 
using the latest SVN version...
