XML & memory useage

[Martin Blackman]

Hi all
reading a 28MB XML file and creating a tree takes more than 90 seconds
& causes my 'commit charge' on XP to go up by more than 400 MB. Does
this sound normal to you ? On my laptop with 512MB RAM, unsurprisingly
everything turns to treacle after this.

After issuing a revdeleteXMLtree, the commit charge doesn't go down
either which doesn't seem right.

If I need to be able to access information from anywhere in the whole
tree is there a faster way, eg accessing from disk on the fly ?

regards
Martin
