Hi Thomas,
 
Was the mzML file indexed or not? This can sometimes make a big difference 
if the program you use accesses the data randomly (or one spectra at a 
time). The mzXML files always have indices, but for mzML they are optional. 
Then the mzML parser must also make use of the indices of course - see 
previous comment.
 
 
Cheers,
 
Magnus
