For this part, one needs to figure out which part of the processing stack causes this. With bigger document sizes parsing does not exhibit such behaviour, although construction of in-memory models may (and probably has to, to explain why Soap processing a la Axis 1.x chokes with bigger message sizes). But as likely it is the actual processing on that model (XSLT and similar) that does it, and there it is likely to be algorithmic problem (whether inherent to xslt[-like] approach or not). And ways to improve this part of the problem is quite different from dealing with lower level aspects. -+ Tatu +- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
