I don't see how, in the general case, this could happen due to a bug or design flaw in XXE v4+. Example: On my laptop, a DocBook 4 2.2MB document loads in 22s with XXE v4.1 and in 21s with XXE v3.8.1 (first time, DTD/Schema cache cleared). The second time, it takes 12s with XXE v4.1 and 15s with XXE v3.8.1. Therefore: * This problem may be related to your working environment. For example, your XML catalog could be broken (this is possibly not detected by XXE v3.8.1 because the DTD/Schema has been cached by your old copy). * OR This problem may be related to your document (images, XIncludes, references to external entities, DTD/Schema, etc). In the latter case, do not hesitate to send us this document (please also include the whole configuration) and will fix the problem in next version.
