Re: [xml] libxml2 XPath performances

[Jose Commins <axora myrealbox com>]

	It is very illuminating to read the diverse comments on this thread 
about XPath, as I have to keep in mind what potentially could be a vast 
number of XML parsing which my program will perform in a production 
environment, hence I have to keep performance in mind (Expat is out of 
the equation for me, since libXML has the speed plus an excellent 
feature set :o) .
	What I imagined libXMl might have done on the initial validation/node 
creation list when reading an XML file is to perform a hash tree of 
some sort, but it seems that is not the case.
	With the Xpath logic aside, I reckon an LZW compression-like hashing 
system could work quite well.  Any comments on implementing something 
of this sort?


Regards,
                Jose.
