I'd like to find an efficient way to untag a substantial amount of XML
structure quickly. Currently I am testing a script as such:

repeat with i from the (count of (every XML Element)) to 1 by -1
     tell XML Element i
           untag element
     end tell
end repeat


However, this is extremely slow. Has anyone found a good way to remove the
entire XML structure (below Root) very quickly?

Thanks.
