dom build speed

[Jos van den Oever]

Hello all,

I've a question concerning DOM build speed. In the version 2.6.2 version of 
Xerces, parsing a simple 825 byte xml file takes between 300 and 400 ms.
 I'm building the DOM from a java.io.Reader. The parse time is independent of 
the type of reader (StringReader, FileReader).

This is the code I use for creating the builder:

    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory
      .newInstance();
    System.out.println(factory);
    factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
    factory.setValidating(false);
    factory.setExpandEntityReferences(false);
    docbuilder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
    docbuilder.setErrorHandler(errorHandler);

Is the DOM build time always so slow? I've read some benchmarks on the web 
that were notably faster.

Cheers, Jos
