<h2>Comparison with existing parsers</h2>
<p>This table summarizes the comparison in terms of time and memory consumption between pugixml and
other parsers. For DOM parsers (all, except Expat, irrXML and SAX parser of XercesC), the process is
as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>construct DOM tree from file, which is preloaded in memory (all parsers take const char* and size
as an input). 'parse time' means number of CPU clocks which is spent, 'parse allocs' - number of allocations,
'parse memory' - peak memory consumption
<li>traverse DOM tree to fill information from it into some structure (which is the same for all parsers,
of course). 'walk time' means number of CPU clocks which is spent, 'walk allocs' - number of allocations
</ul>
<p>For SAX parsers, the parse step is skipped (hence the N/A in relevant table cells), structure is
filled during 'walk' step.</p>
<p>For all parsers, 'total time' column means total time spent on the whole process, 'total allocs' -
total allocation count, 'total memory' - peak memory consumption for the whole process.</p>
<p>The tests were performed on a 1 Mb XML file with a small amount of text. They were compiled with
Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 (2005) compiler in Release mode, with checked iterators/secure STL turned
off. The test system is AMD Sempron 2500+, 512 Mb RAM.</p>
