It should be way less that 200ms! e.g. on my laptop (a 900MHz win2k machine with JDK1.3.1) I can run the performance.ParseLoop sample program parsing xml\web.xml (which is fairly small, 37 lines long), which parsers the file *100* times in 1020ms and that includes the startup overhead of classloading and warming up the parser, which is probably about half of that time. Running performance.ParseTest on the same file I get 561ms for the first run (mostly due to class loading) then an average of 3ms per parse after that. My guess is that 900ms is the time it takes to classload and initialise the parser - it should be pretty snappy after that. Incidentally the easiest way to boost XML parsing performance is to cache and reuse SAXReader instances (which cache and reuse the underlying SAX parser - often parsers take a while to warm up).
