RE: DOM and XPath slows down the application

It's not really possible to answer a performance question without knowing

(a) what particular products you are using
(b) what your XPath expression looks like

Is performance slowing linearly, or is it worse than that (ie. if you double
the size of the file, does the elapsed time double, or increase fourfold, or
what?

Is your system thrashing for memory?
