In one early XML/EDI example, an EDIFACT message ballooned from < 1K to 11K when coded as XML/EDI. However, that's not nearly the most serious bottleneck in distributed applications. Network latency, flawed application design (e.g., not pooling database connections), poorly-designed databases, and poorly-optimized queries all contribute a greater performance penalty than the difference between using text or binary message formats. ============== Ken North ================= See you at XML DevCon 2001 London (February 21-23) New York (April 8-11) www.xmldevcon2001.com ========================================
