In short, these two take two different code paths.  The HTML export one 
goes through an internal, C++ export filter (I believe), whereas the 
XHTML export one goes through a XSLT based export path, which is super 
slow and is not scalable.

In the future we should probably organize this area, and just have one 
C++-based export filter that always exports XHTML.  But we are not there 
yet.
