Do you mean the paper "An Adaptive, Fast and Safe XML Parser Based on Byte Sequences Memorization" (http://www2005.org/cdrom/docs/p692.pdf) by Toshiro Takase and others that was at the WWW conference last year? Their parser caches the SAX events generated from a sequence of bytes and then replays those events when encountering the same bytes (of course taking into account context like prefix mappings). They report speedups of up to 70% compared to Piccolo. -- Jaakko Kangasharju, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology Hi! I'm a signature virus! Copy me into your .signature to help me spread
