Here are the benchmarks I was talking about, pasted from another e-mail. It's against Xalan 1, because Xalan 2 threw up on some of the paths for some reason.
Pretty shocking results :) ----- Ok, first number is JAXEN in milliseconds, second number is Xalan. Results are for queries executed 100 times, except the last two, which were executed less often. The test document was 6 MB in size. Straight path: 743 / 1437 Path with node() selector: 1080 / 2138 Path with predicate: 1509 / 3089 normalize-space: 1126 / 2484 Path with // (descendant axis): 17467 / 206945 Path with ancestor:: : 8015 / 103715 ----- Christian _______________________________________________ Jaxen-interest mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jaxen-interest
