Hi Folks, My input file contains 5 million 132-character records.
I have done everything that I can think of to make the parsing faster: 1. I precompiled the schema and used it to do the parsing 2. I set Java -Xmx40960m 3. I used a bunch of dfdl:choiceDispatchKey to divide-and-conquer And yet it still takes 4 minutes before the (4 GB) XML file is produced. Waiting 4 minutes is not acceptable for my clients. A couple of questions: 1. Is there anything else that I can do to speed things up? 2. I believe there is time needed to do the parsing and generate an in-memory parse tree, and there is time needed to serialize the in-memory parse tree to an XML file. Is there a way to find those two times? I suspect the former is a lot quicker than the latter. /Roger
