----------------------------------------

Hi,

The XML Schema is have uploaded is based on an official XML Schema from the 
Portuguese government. We cannot make changes in the actual schema.

I added extra Java parameters to increase to amount of memory that is 
available: -Xms8192m -Xmx8192m. This demo now doesn't crash anymore but it is 
still very slow. It takes more than 3 minutes to validate the NEW_PROBLEM.xml 
file, even if i have only one assert in the XML Schema that is always true: 
<xsd:assert test="1"/> or <xsd:assert test="true()"/>. If i remove the assert, 
the xml file validated in just a few seconds.

I have uploaded an image of a Java Heap Dump (made with VisualVM) that was 
created while the Xerces the demo was running, after a few minutes.

>            Reporter: Gerben Abbink
>            Priority: Major

> The validation of xml against asserts in XMLSchema 1.1 is slow and takes up a 
> lot of memory for larger xml files. I have created a simple test xml file 
> with lots of repetition and a corresponding xml schema to show the problem.
> It takes 20 sec. to validate the xml against the xml schema. When i remove 
> the asserts in the xml schema it takes just 1 second to validate. Testing was 
> done from the command prompt on a modern Windows machine with 8GByte memory.
> To compare, i have also validated the xml file against the xml schema in 
> XMLSpy. With asserts it takes 2 sec., without the asserts 1 sec. (XMLSpy does 
> not uses Xerces.)
