[xsd-users] Performance issues with XSD

[Gérald GIRAUD]

Hello,
We have made some performance tests with XSD and got some surprising results.
Our test program performs the following actions:
We measure the cpu time consumed to read a xml file into a C++ object and
serialize it into another external file (and this 10000 or 100000 times)

In our sample, we only change the "book maxOccurs" from the .xsd file.
      <xsd:element name="book" type="lib:book" maxOccurs="5"/>

When the maxOccurs=5, the measured time is 5 seconds.
When the maxOccurs=500, the mesaured time is 141 seconds, and this with
the same data (library_3.xml that contains only 3 books declared) !
Is there a way to fix this problem. Maybe our code is not correct : is it
possible to ensure the performance of XSD in that sample (even for
maxOccurs=5) ?
I join the sources of our sample (driver.cxx, library.xsd and library.xml)
Thanks
Gérald
