Another XML Accelerator

I was recently talking about Intel's old NetStructure™ 7210 XML Accelerator a more recent piece of hardware (which is different) DataPower XML Hardware Accelerator "As Rich mentioned in his comment hardware acceleration is a pretty hot ticket at the moment, and for good reason. While some might argue all hardware acceleration does is bring XML applications to the same performance level of binary data-based applications my counter question/remark would be "You mean I can get all the power and benefit that a XML/XSLT-based solution brings AND get the same performance as an application that has been painstakingly handcoded in C or at best C++? WOOHOO!!!""

To create an RDF accelerator maybe you could use a programmable graphics card.
