[xquery-talk] Open source XQuery processors

[Ronald Bourret]

One thing to consider in this regard is how much data you have. It's 
easy to imagine libraries having a lot of data and this could cause 
performance problems.

As a general rule, file-based XQuery implementations parse XML documents 
at run-time, rather than at file-load time, as is the case with database 
XQuery implementations. This can be quite slow for large documents. In 
addition, file-based XQuery implementations will have at best limited 
indexes, which also adversely affects performance.
