I'll patch this. I wouldn't have cracked on it as hard as I did if I
weren't planning on it, actually. I tend to think you should only be
really critical of (free) software you are willing to help improve. I
do have a question though. It does sound like the increase in time
with number of items is greater than linear, and if that's the case
there is probably only one spot that needs to be fixed. If this is
inherent in the xml parser you're using I would consider it a bug in
that library, and I would not bother to look for a cause in your code-
I'd just switch in a better library. Do you know that your bottleneck
is in the xml parser?

Thanks
