the cElementTree unmarshaller on this page http://effbot.org/zone/element-iterparse.htm#incremental-decoding is a bit faster than the one in xmlrpclib. (to get more performance, you probably need a library that allows you to register decoders on the C level.) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
