I assume the increased memory usage for small documents is due to structures set up to handle the deferred node data, but haven't investigated the code to find out details.
BTW, I have run tests more recently than those published on my web site (from February of this year). I'll be including some results by way of comparison in a data binding article coming out next month. I haven't noticed any substantial changes to Xerces2 performance since the results on the web site were published, though.

Performance tests (and our experiences) were showing that enabling defer node expansion degrades performance on small documents even if processing only part of them. This was a few months back...have recent improvements changed this situation as far as anyone knows?

Could somebody explain when the defer node expansion should be used in
xerces 2?
1) When you don't intend to examine the entire document, this choice can save memory and parsing time.
2) When latency (time before you can access the first node) is more important than throughput (time before you can access the last node), this choice can make your program more responsive.
Hence, deferred node expansion tends to be particularly helpful when processing only part of a large document. But it may cost performance when processing all of a small document. That's why it's optional.
(Note the similarity to Xalan's "incremental DTM" mode.)
