Perhaps there are XML parsing performance improvements between MX 6 and 7 (we only just started to use 7 in production in the last few months where I work), but my experience with extremely large xml docs in 6 was similar to what you describe. Unfortunately I'm not aware of an elegant solution. I'm sure doing searches for explicit paths (as opposed to wildcard searches) would help quite a bit, but sometimes that can hurt the extensibility of the code.Jeremyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05975135981872593591noreply@blogger.com
