Just doing some code inspection and seeing this - that it is perfectly
feasible to
pass a buffered version of the input to this, and that the general
contract for IO
seems to imply that you should use buffering for performance considerations.
But I see from some web surfing that the Xerces impl does some buffering,
and you can set the buffer size via a property (do we do that? default
= 2k I think,
and the Apache license is about 1K by itself :-) ).
I guess some simple test would tell...
Some web surfing turned up:
Parsers like Apache Xerces have the ability to set the input buffer size:
|// Set the chunk to read in by SAX
parser.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/input-buffer-size";,
new Integer(2048));
See also http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/properties.html
which gives some advice on how large to set this.
