I converted over a dictionary of words and definitions into XML files (one file per letter of the alphabet), each weighing around 1-5 megs (I chose XML over a DB for important reasons). I'm trying to parse these files and it's taking an incredible amount of time to do it. When parsing small files (letters X, Y, and Z - a total of 815 words or 151 KB) the parser can do so in less than 2 seconds. When parsing the letter A file (40,000 some words or 1.58 megs), it takes 5 seconds just to parse 20 words. It seems the larger the XML file, the longer it takes to parse individual nodes. Can anyone suggest why this is happening and how I can fix it? I've used xerces c++ 2.4.0 and recently upgraded to xerces 2.5.0.
I'm just following the standard XML start-up and DOM parsing procedure - Initialize platform utils - Don't validate files - parse and assign DOM document - go through each child node and collect data I have a 1600MHz processor, so handling a few meg files should be fairly quick. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
