RE: What's the difference between Java-lick DOM and new DOM in Xe rces 2.0?

[Jesse Pelton <js...@PKC.com>]

The new DOM does not allow sharing a document between threads and implements
its own memory management. Losing the reference-counting and contention
management code vastly improved its efficiency. I have a Web app that
constructs XHTML documents using the Xerces DOM, and we saw a 4X increase in
throughput with the new DOM. Your mileage may vary.
 
The new DOM may be somewhat less stable, since it has seen less use. It
works like a champ for our purposes.

Hi, 
I just download the new Xerces2.0, I have one question: What's the
difference between Java-lick DOM and new DOM in Xerces2.0? Are there any
performance or stability differences?
By the way, I just compare the Xerces to MSXML, Xerces is slower than MSXML,
especially in multi-thread environment. Do we have any plans to improve it?
 
Thanks a lot,
Kevin
