Yes I agree this is probably not possible..
The only option here would be to use String instead of XRI3Segment, but this
would have big implications on the entire library, because in some places
the functionality of XRI3Segment is really needed.

The reason why I used singletons was that I thought it's better to re-use
the reader objects instead of creating/destroying them all the time. But
yes, maybe I was wrong and its better to return new instances for every read
operation.

Another thing to make sure is that the client sets the header Content-Type:
text/xdi+x3, so that the XDI server uses the X3StandardReader instead of the
AutoReader, but I think this is happening already.

Out of curiosity, what software did you use for profiling?

Markus
