Well, it can be done, after all Database Events files are simply SQLite. Also, I don't see why an XML process would take any time at all, I'm curious what method you used and how many records are involved. If you're importing data into FileMaker, the source of the data (FileMaker, CSV, XML) may not have much to do with the speed.
