A technical question. Does using other format like XML or XHTML make rendering faster given the same amount of nodes + styles in the page? Can it help make browsers render a page faster?

No. It might make parsing faster if you optimized for it, but I don’t see any reason for the choice of text representation to affect rendering speed.
