With the same UTF-8 content the libxml2 parser is _faster_ than our HTML parser: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52036#c1 I don't think that there is a huge difference between the HTML and XML parser, so comparing should be ok in this case. After my (simple) performance tests I still think that parsing UTF-8 is better than UTF-16, since it usually has only half of the memory size. - Patrick _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
