Parsing speed depends heavily on the nature of the documents. In particular some parsers perform much better on small documents than other parsers while performing worse on larger documents and vice versa. There are other document characteristics that may make one parser faster or slower than another, but in practice document size seems to be the biggest issue. Plus, pure parsing performance is rarely at issue. Normally the speed with which a parser can supply the parsed data to the client application also matters. Indeed in some models that build trees this eats a lot more time than the actual parsing. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@m...
