Assaf,

I ran my tests with new 1.0.4 build Arnaud put on the web server.
Performance is much better - the same as Xalan's serializer

Thanks for your help

And Arnaud thank you for new 1.0.4 build

Alex

You need to get the serializers from the CVS (can someone do a 1.0.4).
The new ones separate the indentation and no-indentation printers, and
so should run way faster.
