Thread: [libxml++] DomParser::parse_stream() extremely slow

Hi,

Maybe it is a known issue, but I noticed that
DomParser::parse_stream() is extremely slow for big XML documents, as
compared to DomParser::parse_memory(). For a 20MB document the former
takes more than 5 min on my computer, while the latter only 6 seconds.

So using:
stringstream post_stream;
parser.parse_memory(post_stream.str());

Instead of:
stringstream post_stream;
parser.parse_stream(post_stream);

Make a big difference. Unfortunately I have no time to get into the
sources, just wanted to let you know.

Best regards,
Andrej
