in thread xml parsers: do I need one?

We have full control of both ends. Changing from XML to something different isn't going to happen. We use java's DOM parser to read the xml file in our main application. It takes about 2-3 minutes to parse everything using java. It took 35 minutes to parse the xml file with the Perl::XML parser. Is it that much slower, or was I just doing something really wrong?

    35 minutes for a 3.3 MB file?? Yes, it sounds as if something is not right there. Or your computer has 24k of memory :)
    But that is difficult to say without the code or the DTD.

    Sounds fishy. Last year I wrote some code that used XML::Parser to parse and munge XML files of about 20 MB apiece, and on my not-particularly-new notebook it didn't take anywhere near that long. I can't remember if runtime was closer to 30 seconds or 3 minutes, but it certainly wasn't long enough that you'd walk away from your desk and not be finished when you got back.
