I've just uploaded yet another sgmlop development snapshot to:

http://www.pythonware.com/madscientist/

-- attributes are now parsed by C code. this gives a considerable
   speedup for files using lots of attributes.

-- added some extra support for saxlib (see saxhack.py for some
   sample code).

Roughly, an sgmlop-based saxlib parser should be about 30 times faster
than one based on the old sgmllib.  If you run with empty callbacks,
about 20% of the time is parsing and 80% of the time is Python method
call overhead.  Guess it's time to start hacking on the interpreter ;-)

I'll be off-line until monday; it would be cool if someone else could
turn saxhack.py into a real saxlib parser in the meantime!

Enjoy /F
