Hi,

I am pleased to announce the first release of XSDBench. XSDBench is an
open-source W3C XML Schema benchmark that compares the performance of
validating XML parsers. It measures validation throughput, statically-
linked test executable size, and, where possible, peak heap and stack
memory usage during parsing. The following parsers are supported in
this release:

  - Apache Xerces-C++
  - CodeSynthesis XSD
  - Gnome Libxml2
  - Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML)
  - Oracle XDK

Results for the following platforms and compilers are available:

  - GNU/Linux on AMD Opteron 244 with GCC 4.1.2
  - Windows on Intel Pentium 3 with VC++ 7.1
  - GNU/Linux on Intel Pentium 3 with Intel C/C++ 9.1
  - GNU/Linux on IBM PowerPC 970MP with IBM XML C/C++ 8.0

More information on the benchmark architecture, results, as well as
the benchmark source code are available from the XSDBench home page:
