Granting that this means that UTF8 <-> UTF16 conversion is the place to look if one wants to speed up SAX, is SAX processing too slow? Another interpretation of such data is that both transcoding and other aspects of XML processing are sufficiently fast that optimizing them is not a concern. -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
