My tests comparing the two methods showed no net difference. Each method would
slightly better the other in some tests, but in no test was either better by more than
10%, if I recall.

Subject: SAXSource vs DocumentBuilder performance
Some time back, post-2.3.1, this change was made to Apache SOAP:
Add the ability to select between parsing XML using a
DocumentBuilder versus a Transform from a SAXSource to a
DOMResult on a per-Call basis. This is on the client only.
If testing establishes that the Transform offers a significant
speed improvement, the server code may be changed as well.
I sort of recollect that there was a difference of opinion about
whether this actually made any difference or not. Before I go off and
construct some tests to measure it, has anyone else already done so?
