------------------------------------

> completely ignoring and kernel networking latency etc.

That's my point. I would assume that the time taken by XML parsing is 
insignificant when compared to both HTTP processing above and JCR processing 
below. Even assuming zero network and disk latencies, I don't believe that XML 
parsing is taking more than a fraction of total request processing time. Even a 
50% performance boost to XML parsing is not likely to give any visible changes 
to end user performance. Besides, CPU performance is seldom the bottleneck in 
applications today.

> Currently the web dav library uses Xerces and DOM to parse and create XML 
> data. This mechanism is well-known but has two major issues: It is slow and 
> it has a big memory footprint. In order to solve these two issues, I suggest 
> to drop the use of the W3C DOM in webdav in favor of something easier and 
> more straight forward to use.
> One candidate could be (out of my head and based on my bias towards KXml) 
> KDOM. See also http://www.kxml.org.ww
> See also JCR-1261 for more discussions on this issue.
