<DIV><SPAN class=047004416-02042002><FONT face=Arial size=2>We will be
processing approximately 2 - 3K XML files a day apprx. 100 KB each (the DTD
is 29KB) using JDOM B8/ Xerces2 (BTW, great job to all contributors). I'm
assuming there is a gain to be obtained in processing time by not validating but
is there also a reduction in memory consumption? I looked at some of the
"benchmark" results posted from previous mailings but I didn't see the answer to
my question. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
