  Completely linear with raw CPU cycle speed, so depends on your
CPU. With cheap but recent processors (like an athlon 2600) 
parsing to generate empty SAX feedback is around 25 MBytes/s. It
also depends a lot on the content, this is for relatively regular
and flat ascii data. It's just an order of magnitude there is just
too many parameters modifying this.
