Just clarify a few tings on this. This is an App running on a CD - that queries a DB which is online?
I'm guessing that part of the problem is the sheer volume of data being passed back to the App. XML is great when there is a reasonable amount of data to parse, is this gets significantly large, then the XML object can take a while to load and parse this data in. If this is the case, can you break the data up into smaller chunks ? Also what are you doing to 'search' the XML once it's loaded. If you haven't already done so look at Xpath - makes searching so much easier. Finally, if there is a server side tier to this, think about FlashRemoting - it will show a significant performance improvement for you. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ing.

So at the beginning of the development process I thought XML would suit perfectly in the purpose of this app. But it happened that the DB used to generate the apporpiate XML files that my app consume had grown amazingly so eventually my app (exclusively the part that searches for an specific registry entry) turns very slow and sometimes (rarely but happens) it crashes due to the exhaustive loops and interations i do in order to the search/display data of an specific registry and filtering functions. So i thouhgt, upon your experience, to ask how would you do to optimize this thing or what its the best way to do the queries to an XML in order smooth things a little bit more :) Or what approaches (or guidelines ) do you use when you have to develop an app. that will have XML to serve as its DB. Do you load everysingle XML at once ? on demand ? etc ? Thanks in advanced!
