[XML-SIG] XML parser benchmark

[Lars Marius Garshol]

This was posted by Clark Cooper to xml-dev yesterday. Performance for
Pyexpat is not good, but it seems that his Python application can be
improved. (I'm looking at it right now.)

| There's an article of mine on:
| 
| 	  http://www.xml.com/
| 
| That compares the performance of 6 XML parsers using 4 languages:
| 
|  1) James Clark's Expat		(C)
|  2) Richard Tobin's RXP		(C)
|  3) James Clark's XP		(Java)
|  4) IBM's XML4J			(Java)
|  5) My XML::Parser		(Perl)
|  6) Jack Jansen's Pyexpat	(Python)
| 
| The same program is implemented in each language and using each parser
| and then compared with different test cases in the same environment.
| 
| Please check it out and critique as necessary.
| 
| Thanks,
| Clark
