When I parse the same file with a few lines of code using POI library, the

I use tika-core-0.10 and tika-parsers-0.10 when I use tika and poi-3.8-beta3
when I use POI.

Any inputs on this?

Upgrade! Try Tika 1.1, it uses event based XLSX parsing so should be 
quicker and lower memory for .xlsx files than in 0.10
