Dunno about speed, although I think it's faster since a lot simpler than
libxml. As for memory footprint, GMarkup is already part of glib, so it
saves the need for an additional lib, libxml in this case.

However, I don't think there is a need to redo what you've already done
with libxml, it's fine.

Well, I want to keep it as simple as possible. Load options will
generate a GList, and save option will write a file based on a GList.
So, adding a name to the channel would require a list of lists, which
would make it more complex.
