No, I have already. > Wouldn't that be like reinventing the wheel? There are tons of them > out there - there's bound to be one that fits the requirements. Yup, but not for my needs (why I implemented it in the first place). They are all way too bloated for what I needed it for. > The post also raises a few questions: > What exactly do you want to improve on with the new parser? See my other post: 4. The main reason I put time into it is to try get rid of the occasional hicks I see when new terrain (along with new models) get loaded at runtime. I was hoping that a faster XML parser might improve that. > What's the talk about memory fragmentation about? Sounds like you're asking something you don't know much about. Anyway, the more the memory get fragmented (due to allocating en freeing memory sections), the harder is gets for the memory allocator to find a proper region so the longer it takes to get one. This can hurt runtime performance big time. So, reducing memory fragmentation could improve execution speed. (Unless you throw in massive amounts of internal memory off course) This is exactly the reason why Firefox is using it's own memory manager code now (instead of relying on the one provided by the operating system) Erik ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
