Hi all,
   I was pondering over performance issues of transmitting XML over a
WAN link. WAN links can be slow, and can slow the process of
transferring XML from one point to another.

One technique of boosting performance of XML transfer is compression,
which can be very useful in case of XML, because XML is text, and
compression ratio of text information is greatest.

Another idea came to my mind, for which I would like to seek the list's opinion.
Can we transmit SAX events from source to destination, and can
reconstruct the XML at the destination from these SAX events. Will
this be faster, than transmitting XML as a single chunk?
