I think that UTF-8 decoding is often the bottleneck and the obvious way to speed that up is to write the whole thing in assembler. I suspect the only way of getting a significant improvement (i.e. more than a doubling) in parser speed is to get closer to the hardware. I'm surprised no-one has done it. Perhaps no-one knows how to write assembler any more (or perhaps, like me, they just don't enjoy it). Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
