I am using Delphi 7.0. In the past I have written a generic 
import/export routine using TXMLDocument and it has worked wonderfully 
but with my last export to a file (my data is quite large) I found two 
problems: 1) TXMLDocument is extremely slow, and 2) it is all memory 
bound. So much so that my app ran up to 1.6 Gig of memory and ran out of 
memory and died.

Thus, I need an alternative. Someone at our company wrote a similar 
routine using the FileStream classes and it is fast enough but he's 
manually concatenating '<' and '>' to our elements. I would like 
something fast but want something more structured so the code will 
handle the elements/attributes like TXMLDocument does. Besides that, I 
would like to be able to read the xml document without having to search 
for '<' and '>' characters. Any ideas?

I'm finding many things on SAX/DOM but many of them haven't been updated 
since 2003 or so. I'm excited to move to .Net where I can use XMLWriter 
but that's not an option right now.

Thanks in advance.
