SOAP Element Parsing question

[Srilekha Mudumbai <sr...@managedmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am finding more delays in parsing an XML document.

The current parsing strategy I use is to iterate the child elements of 
the SOAPBodyElement.
The XML document is really big (around 1300 contacts for an address book 
with so many attributes
for each contact).When I get the SOAPBodyElement, it is the entire XML 
document and I do
believe that this kind of parsing slows me down.

Is there anybody else who had faced the same problem?

Can somebody suggest me a better alternative?

I would really appreciate your input on this.

Regards
Srilekha
