no comments anyone? I would like to know if my results make sense...

Thanks,

Subject: Curious benchmarking results

I recently used JProbe to do some benchmarking using Xerces 2, the results
I got were sort of confusing.

Results:

Description
Parsing time Memory usage

Description
Parsing Time
Memory Usage

Xerces 1.4.3

Validation and Namespace turned off

1:40
14879 kilobytes

(14.5 megabytes)

Xerces 1.4.3

Validation and Namespace turned on

2:56
34138 kilobytes

(33.3 megabytes)

Xerces 2

Validation and Namespace turned off

1:48
13987 kilobytes

(13.6 megabytes)

Xerces 2

Validation and Namespace turned on

3:20
14028 kilobytes

(13.7 megabytes)

There was not much memory difference with validation and namespaces on/off
for Xerces 2. What I did notice is when validation and namespaces were on
for Xerces 2, the garbage collector was invoked MANY, MANY, MANY, times..
this accounted for the low memory usage. Do these results seem valid?

Let me know your thoughts,

Rob
