[jdom-interest] RE: Memory and Speed problems with SAXBuilder

[MarkW]

Hi people,
I would also be very interested in a JDOM-Version for JDK 1.4.1 with the
StringBuffer-bug workaround. I´m also having major performance problems
handling relatively small (ca. 800K) files.
Is there any possibility of a beta 9 release? Sure would make life alot
easier :-)

Regards,
Mark
