Things That Don't Scale: Entry #42
There are some approaches in programming that simply don't scale.
One of them, I am now reminded after running a bunch of timing tests, is reading large XML data using DOM. My only consolation is that I was not the one who decided that using DOM was a good idea.
I have suggested using a nice serial forward-only XML reader.
And that someone else can fix up the code to do so. :)
