I don't know, I recently saw some benchmarks for xalan(c++
version) running against large(10+ mb) xml files and it
performed worst out of the processors involved, msxml
performed best(can't remember where I read this). I suppose
one reason for datapower's product would be that it handles
large xml files quickly, in that context and if xalan indeed
does perform poorly against large files it does not seem to
be a good comparison.


Hey, you wouldn't expect them to compare themselves against the *best* of the competition, would you? This is a US software company, after all, not a team of gentleman cricket players.


Who is the fastest, Mike? Caucho's Resin? libxml/xsl? It is not Saxon. Who do
you think they should use?

*Everybody* seems to use Xalan as the baseline because it is blessed by Apache
and SUN.

I think you are a brilliant man, Mike, but this was a dickless statement. I
don't need to hear US-bashing on this list too.

Hello Robert,

you heard enough US-bashing from Germany?? ;-)

I think Michael only pointed out, that this is normal marketing behaviour. Comparing the own product with the worst but most common one has nothing to do with fair competition, but marketing. Who does not compare his products with the "US software company" Microsoft? ;-)

I think we leave the allowed topics on the list ...

Regards,

Joerg
