Benchmark

We did benchmark on this early version of TikXml to compare field's results with other popular xml parsers like SimpleXml and Jackson. TikXml is working around 1,9 times faster than jackson and 4,3 times faster than SimpleXml by also having a low memory footprint:

TikXml has been built on top of Okio and therefore is highly optimized for Retrofit2.
