Has Microsoft made changes to msxml to improve performance with larger files? It seems to be working much better, and I don't understand why. Not that I'm complaining.
It has always been know that the DOM has issues with large files. My golden rule has been to keep files under 4 mb if I want to avoid problems. For this reason, we have been in the process of moving things to the xmlreader.
To test out performance, we tried to create a benchmark test where we first process a file using the DOM and then process it using the xmlreader. I was expecting the DOM to start choking on large files, but it didn't happen.
Has anything changed, or was I just so scared from msxml 3.0 that I never tried it again?
