| 166 | a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes</li> |
| 167 | <li>Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small |
| 168 | text nodes from the dictionnary</li> |
| 169 | <li>Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core, |
| 170 | provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory |

| 183 | Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code, |
| 184 | make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI |

| 219 | <li>a lot of profiling and tuning of the code, speedup patch for |
| 220 | xmlSearchNs() by Luca Padovani. The xmlReader should do far less |
| 221 | allocation and it speed should get closer to SAX. Chris Anderson worked |
