[jdom-interest] Build From a String Performance Problem?

[McFarland, Todd]

Jason,
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, the second load is very fast.  I tried to precache the builder, but it
had no affect.  It literally has to be loaded once.

Do you know of a lighter parser off hand?

I'll be using the JDOM classes in Scriplets.  Assuming I can't find a parser
that
is real fast on initialization, do you suggest precaching Scriplet instances
as a pool?

Thanks for the advise,
- Todd

Probably 2.8 seconds of those 3 seconds are spend loading the Xerces
classes.  It's a very big parser designed to optimize running speed not
startup speed.  Try a second load once the JVM is "warmed" with the
Xerces classes and it's probably much faster.  But you'll also notice
JDOM lets you plug in any parser you want to the SAXBuilder constructor.
