Signs on the Sand

Here is another piece of a must reading - "Chapter 9 - Improving XML Performance" of the "Improving .NET Application Performance and Scalability" guide from the Microsoft Pattern and Practices group. Here are the objectives : Optimize XML processing design, Parse XML documents efficiently, Validate XML documents efficiently, Optimize your XML Path Language (XPath) queries, Write efficient XSL Transformations (XSLT). Wow, amazingly good paper.
