You say:

"We expect that in most applications the structure validation
       overhead will greatly outweigh that of the content validation."

Why do you expect that? I would have expected exactly the opposite. A
process that make one decision per element node in the document is surely
likely to be faster than one that has to examine each character. Of course
it may be true that most of the content is xs:string, but who knows.

> 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
