We have recently changed our usage of Xalan from supplying a DOMSource to SAXSource. Our performance tests show some improvement (10% or so) for XMLs that are around 40K in size (a couple of hundreds of tags and attributes) , but for a large XML (1.3MB, around 20K tags with no attributes) the performance of the DOMSource is about twice as fast.
These results came as a surprise as we expected to improve the performance and as it turned out for large XML the opposite happens. Can anyone suggest what might be the cause to this behavior? Cheers, Shmul
