Tell me about it - more on the way...

Sorry, I wasn't clear - its the speed we are looking for - especially on the
parsing.

To write a custom serialization/deserialization, I presume we are talking
about a core change to jdom - as the code would need to know what jdom
fields to send/not send.  I don't suppose anyone has done this already   :-)

TIA,
Chris
