Hi there,
I am parsing a very big xml document(1.2 gb) using Xerces SAX Parser. It takes more than 15 minutes before it actually starts thorwing start element and end element events. Since this is not a DOM Parser, I suspect it doesn't load the document in memory and all. Then nwhy does it take so long before throwing any events? Is there any way to make it faster?
There could be any number of reasons, but since you're wisely using AX the simplest solution is try other parsers such as Crimson and Piccolo and see if any of them provide better performance on your documents. If they're all equally slow the problem is probably in your code. For instance, how do you know it takes 15 minutes before it starts firing start element and end element events? Isd it possible it actually starts much sooner but your output gets buffered until then?
