summary
The XML team at Microsoft has done some great work to improve the performance of the MSXML parser over the last three releases. They made a major improvement to the scalability of MSXML for the Windows 2000 release, as described at the end of Charlie Heinemann's article " What's New in XML for Microsoft Windows 2000. "They added new interfaces in the MSXML January 2000 Web Release that allow caching of schemas and XSL templates. The Web Release also includes some important work to improve the memory management of XSL transformations, so that they Scale Better on the server.
Microsoft's XML team has made a lot of work in the past three MSXML parsers to improve performance. They greatly improved MSXML's scalability in Windows 2000, as Charlie Heinemann's "What's New In XML for Microsoft Windows 2000" is finally mentioned. They add new interfaces to caches Schema and XSL templates in MSXML January 2000 Web. This version also contains some improvements in the memory management of XSL conversions, making better scaling performance on the server.
I ran out of time in this article to explore the new features. If there's enough interest, perhaps I'll do a follow up article on them. The C source code used to get the performance numbers in this article and the same data is included In the xmlperf.exe file what acompanies this article.
The above is a discussion on some new performance of MSXML. If you are interested, I may have a follow-up article to continue to discuss this problem. The sample files used in the performance test in this article are included in the XMLperf.exe files that are supported in this article [SL1].
