Unfortunately, speed is an issue for our aggregation sites where

There are some good arguments to be made for decoupling parsing / aggregating directly within Drupal and moving it outside -- just putting nodes into Drupal.
I don't object to that SimplePie may well be the better
choice for a general use case - can we agree on a pluggable solution,
though?
Yes.
I can understand. But let's not desmiss the new aggregator solution as
Drupal 7 only material. A backport to 6 or even 5 could be very easy
to do. Moreover, it's pretty likely that Aron actually starts
developing the new aggregator on Drupal 5.
From a more personal point of view, I really would like to get rid of
leech and build on top of common ground as soon as possible - not only
when 7's out.
