Bottleneck? By that I assume you are referring to processing speed. That is not my primary concern, and I made no mention of that in my question. I am concerned about memory usage when the scraped pages are parsed for forms and links.

    No. We're talking about memory usage. How did you determine the link parsing porting, is responsible for your 200MB process size? And that a solution that incrementally parses the HTML is the answer to reducing memory usage?
