[jdom-interest] question about running speed

[Dennis Sosnoski]

I'll update the test results at 
http://www.sosnoski.com/opensrc/xmlbench/index.html later this month, 
but from what I've seen in running through the last test set again beta 
8 is generally about 10-30% slower on building the document 
representation than beta 7. The one exception was the document with 
heavy mixed content, which was actually about 20% faster with beta 8. 
Walking through the document representation is generally about twice as 
fast with the new list code, so at least that's a very nice gain.

It looks like memory usage has gone up substantially, though, and you're 
working with a large file. If you were near the limit before the change 
probably would have put you all the way into the thresh zone. Try 
increasing the JVM memory when you run your program (perhaps use "java 
-Xms128M -Xmx128M", assuming you've got at least 128M in your machine).
