Speaking of serializers... I'm using one of the many variations of DOMPrint that have been posted to this list to serialize my DOM. The XML it generates is just fine but is dreadfully slow. It probably takes 10 or 20 times as long to serialize as it does to parse. Granted, I'm on a pretty slow processor (Intel I960 running VxWorks), but it is taking roughly 1 second to generate every 1K of XML. I haven't profiled or instrumented the code to find out where the problem is yet, but was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar or if anyone might know where the problem is. It's all Local Code Page stuff using UTF-8. My Local Code Page transcoding is pretty similar to the IconvTransService. -- thx, Bob Vaughn Telestream, Inc. http://www.telestream.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
