[OT]; SAX parsing speed

[Niclas Hedhman <ni...@hedhman.org>]

Does anyone have an indication of the total SAX parsing time, i.e. how much 
time is spent parsing the XML and the XSL relatively to all other operations 
for a complete transform.

Would there be any "point" to bring this to "I/O speed", meaning as fast as 
the characters can be read from the disk/net??

I'm playing with the idea of making an attempt at a SAX hardware accelerator, 
just for the heck of it, but won't bother if it is already in the "ignorable" 
magnitude.

I'm pretty sure you are aware of 
http://www.datapower.com/products/xa35.html in that area?
