It isn't validation. I have validation turned off. I didn't combine, because the current profile shows all the time down in the scanner, and that wouldn't be changed by combining except insofar as we would only list all the namespace schema declarations once.
My current experiment concerns http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/defer-node-expansion, since these are small files. I'll try woodstox next.
