On this memory leakage problem, it does seem the case that memory leaks come into releases with new functionality. However we have had very good operation in 1.3 and still have customers using this. We do re-test using bounds checker for each release which pretty soon establishes the presence of any problems (providing we use a range of messages sizes from tiny through to 10MB xml files). Once this simple test is established we have then had very good performance.
Actually if you compiled the 1.3 release with debug the memory management facilities in the XERCES libraries themselves reported our own memory leakage problems!!! That is an excellent facility, though I have not used it much recently!

I originally used MSXML because it was the native XML parser for windows and in many respects, provides richer (more functional) APIs. However the memory leakage and deployment problems caused me to seek other alternatives. With Xerces, the most common complaint has been in the area of memory leaks, but the problems are being addressed in a timely fashion.
