I have a couple of questions concerning Xerces and Performance....

[Crain, David B. (LNG-DAY)]

1)       What version of the JDK/SDK was used to build the latest version of Xerces jars. I am referring to the following download site: http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/xerces-j/ 2)       Has anyone ever done a performance test between different versions of the JDK/SDK, like: a.       Sun 1.4.2 vs. IBM 1.4.2??? b.       1.4.2 vs. 1.5.0??? (I would assume performance differences here) 3)       Is there a website where this has been documented???   Dave   David B.
