My Pet Project (continued...)

After doing some research, I found out there is a much faster way to process XML files. Apparently, there are two ways to read a XML file. One, you can read it the DOM (Document Object Model) way. Or, you read it the navigator (Foward-Only traversal) way. Currently, my pet project employs the DOM method and it's slow for techical reasons. It's said that the navigator way is 15%+ faster than DOM. That performance gain tempts me much to use the navigator way; in which I will. The drawback, however, is that its harder to implement and I'd have to rewrite the code.
