Yes, but the first parse in the same VM *is* including the time required to dynamically load all of the classes needed by the parser. I always call the DOMCount program twice in the same invocation so that the first parse brings in the classes and I can more readily believe the second time. For example: java dom.DOMCount -v document.xml document.xml > Is there something wrong with my setup then?
