             Summary: Xerces 3.2.0 (and newer) perfomance issue
                 Key: XERCESC-2211
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2211
             Project: Xerces-C++
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Andrii


We are using Xerces library to parse huge(about 10 000 lines) XML configuration file while starting one of our core application. 

After switching from 3.1.4 to 3.2.0 version we started observing perfomance issues. Parsing now takes about 3-4 seconds (previously it took less then 1 second).

I've made an investigation and found that almost all time is consumbed by "castToChildImpl" function inside "DOMCasts.hpp" source file.

I've also noticed that in this function ("castToChildImpl") in 3.2.0 version "dynamic_cast" is used for type conversion. Previously (in 3.1.4) usual c-type cast was used. I made additional measurements and found that most of time consumed by "castToChildImpl" function is spent exactly on this line of code with "dynamic_cast":

"_HasDOMChildImpl *pE = dynamic_cast<HasDOMChildImpl*>(p);_"

Can we deal somehow with this?

Thank you.
