Actually, IMHO, performance is critical, and its really hard to make a fully conforming parser that is flexible, maintainable, and fast. Partly its because some of the kind of arcane XML rules were not written with performance in mind particularly. I think that performance matters as much on the small end of the spectrum as the large as well. Yes, you want to be able to do a 32MB file in a few seconds. But you also have to consider the e-bidness stuff, in which you might have to create a parser (since its part of a stateless server thingy and can't just hang around), parse a small transaction file, and clean up that parser (and whatever under/overlying infrastructure it required) very fast. If you see a parser that is way, way out ahead of the field on performance on a wide array of source input, you should probably be suspicious that it is either not really fully conforming to the spec or is extremely inflexible for future expansion (or both.) xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
