IMHO yacc _will_ be faster anyway, the question is just how much, and whether spirit would be suitable at all. And whether developing yet another parser is worth it. As there are many XML parsers already available, what about eXpat, for example? It is used by Mozilla, Perl, Python, and is said to be very fast. http://expat.sourceforge.net/ Btw, the developer of eXpat is James Clark, who is a very active member of the Thai OOo community, he might be able to tell us whether eXpat would feasible for fast ODF parsing.
