in thread Is it wiser to move on from XML::Simple to XML::Compile

Thanks for reply.
I agree XML::Compile does not belong in this comparison.
This comparison should not be considered as comparisons of performance of different parsers.
I was just trying to compare these for my case and really think XML::Compile a great code. It supports all schema validations etc and fits well for my case too. I was looking for a possible plug in to XML::Simple with better performance.
I had checked XML::LibXML::Simple too but not of much difference as both take much time in converting to perl hash than actual parsing.
Here is result for two

s/iter xmllibxmlsimple xmlsimple xmllibxmlsimple 22.8 -- -3% xmlsimple 22.2 3% --

    XML::Fast is also creating HASHes. The difference might be that it construct those in XS, where ::Simple need to cross the expensive XS <-> Perl border for each node.
