    There is a problem with the perl script that you wrote.  The attrib.xml version contains the words from the dicionary, but the child.xml doesn't (unless my mail server dropped a line).

    I don't have time to re-run your test yet, but it would be interesting to see what happens when the test is fair.
Doh!  "Code in haste, debug in leisure."  Ok, here are the corrected results:

$ ./make.pl
$ ls -l
total 14206
-rw-rw-r--   1 mnutter  mnutter   5811846 Sep 23 08:28 attrib.xml
-rw-rw-r--   1 mnutter  mnutter   8672170 Sep 23 08:28 child.xml
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mnutter  mnutter       999 Sep 23 08:26 make.pl
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mnutter  mnutter       976 Sep 22 13:16 make.pl~
$ gzip attrib.xml
$ gzip child.xml
$ ls -l
total 1332
-rw-rw-r--   1 mnutter  mnutter    670757 Sep 23 08:28 attrib.xml.gz
-rw-rw-r--   1 mnutter  mnutter    681080 Sep 23 08:28 child.xml.gz
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mnutter  mnutter       999 Sep 23 08:26 make.pl
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mnutter  mnutter       976 Sep 22 13:16 make.pl~

So child.xml.gz is slightly larger than attrib.xml.gz (about 1.5%, assuming my math isn't as bad as my coding).

Here again, for reference, is my (corrected) perl script.

#!/usr/bin/perl

open WORDS, "</usr/dict/words" or die "Couldn't open dictionary.\n";
open ATTRIB, ">attrib.xml" or die "Couldn't open attrib.xml\n";
open CHILD, ">child.xml" or die "Couldn't open child.xml\n";

@twenty_strings = qw(one two three four five six seven eight nine ten
                     eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen
                     seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty);

print ATTRIB "<attrib>\n";
print CHILD "<child>\n";

while($word = <WORDS>)
{
    $time = time();
    $timestr = localtime($time);
    $twenty = rand % 20;
    $twentystr = $twenty_strings[$twenty];
    print ATTRIB <<EOM;
  <word time="$time" timestr="$timestr" twenty="$twenty"
        twentystr="$twentystr">$word</word>
EOM
    print CHILD <<EOM;
  <word>
    <time>$time</time>
    <timestr>$timestr</timestr>
    <twenty>$twenty</twenty>
    <twentystr>$twentystr</twentystr>
    <data>$word</data>
  </word>
EOM
}

print ATTRIB "</attrib>\n";
print CHILD "</child>\n";

close CHILD;
close ATTRIB;
close WORDS;
