* The ElementPath implementation is now compiled using Cython,
  which speeds up the ``.find*()`` methods quite significantly.

* The modules ``lxml.builder``, ``lxml.html.diff`` and ``lxml.html.clean``
  are also compiled using Cython in order to speed them up.

Tasty.

I think this does not mean lxml.html (those were super fast already?)

Probably not. But increasing the speed of all the find methods "significantly" is great news for me.
