<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=490130818-09112005>I am trying to tune
some processing that uses JDOM to apply about 1000 XPATH expressions to a batch
of XML files. I am using Xerces as my SAX parser implementation and thought
about replacing this with something more speedy. But, the bulk of the work is
really in applying these XPATH expressions, not in actually parsing the XML. I
am caching the expressions as XPath objects and also only parsing the source XML
into a Document object once. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=490130818-09112005>I'm wondering if
JDOM allows me to replace the XPATH implementation with other implementations -
I think that the default is JAXEN. Are there speedier XPATH implementations
available?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
