I don't know the precise details of this conversation or exactly
which parsing, CajaHtmlParser or XmlUtil.parse, you are talking
about, but if its the Gadget XML parse prior to manipulation, and
this is still using DOM based parsing, then its probably going to be
slower than SAX under load, and vastly slower than Stax. The reason I
say under load, is that DOM parsers tend emit lots of small objects
which, once they get out of eden, overload the GC which will dominate
as resources become scarce. Having said that, gadget parse trees
probably don't exist long enough to get out of eden.
Ignore me if you are talking about some other parsing going on within
gadgets.
