It works indeed. I performed a microbenchmark measuring tomcat startup times without validation, with xerces 2.5 and xerces 2.6. run1 run2 run3 avg norm1 norm2 norm3 off 17715 17606 17445 17588 1 0,80 0,88 2.5 21771 21841 21845 21819 1,24 1 1,09 2.6 19988 19769 19858 19871 1,12 0,91 1 I have made three runs (columns run1, run2 and run3) Since startup times measured in ms are of no special interest (they depend on particular hw/sw platform), columns (norm1, norm2 and norm3) show data normalized to avg of off, 2.5 and 2.6 respectively. Row names are self explanatory. I think that if there are no regressions in xerces 2.6 it is worth switching to (provided you *do* validate xmls).
