Thanks. I wanted to compare performance between the two infact (for expatsax vs. msxmlsax, and expatsax vs. msxmldom) for use in an existent application done in javascript. But i do not know if the sax event handling in javascript would anyway kill any of the possible speed gain from expat ;-\ Anyone knows?
