Right. You have to open a file with a lot of Xincludes with the option
File >Open as Text. Then it opens right away but not in wysiwyg. The
latest version of Serna is much faster than the older versions. There
are things in Serna that bug me but they're working on it. Even in the
cheaper version of Serna, you can do some customization.

XMLMind is good, fast, and its wysiwyg presentation is easy to
customize, but does not support XML text entities. They have some
proprietary mechanism for handling use cases where you want to use a
text entity for substitution purposes.
Serna does the whole shebang and can be customized if you buy the most
expensive version. In my experience, it can be very, like snail on
downers wading through molasses after a rough night, slow to load large
documents or documents that use a lot of xincludes to pull in content.
Once the documents are loaded it works pretty well.

If you don't need wysiwyg and you like free, Emacs with NXML mode is
fast, free, and easy to learn.
