xml processing : too slow...

[Shagshag13]

hello,

i need to process *each line* of  many huge files (> 2 million lines) with xml processing, by now i do it with parseString from
xml.dom.minidom and it's work.

i do xml validation, extract attributes and tags.

that's really slow, how do you think i can speed it up ? i'm thinking of writing a xml mini wrapper using things like string.find or
even regular expressions, do you this that's a good idea ?

thanks in advance,
