+# node-expat #
+
+## Motivation ##
+
+You use [node.js](http://github.com/ry/node) for speed? You process
+XML streams? Then you want the fastest XML parser: libexpat!
+
+## Speed ##
+
+A stupid speed test is supplied in `bench.js`. We measure how many
+25-byte elements a SAX parser can process:
+
+* (node-xml)[http://github.com/robrighter/node-xml] (pure JavaScript): 23000 el/s
+* (libxmljs)[http://github.com/polotek/libxmljs] (libxml2 binding): 77000 el/s
+* (node-expat)[http://github.com/astro/node-expat] (libexpat binding, this): 113000 el/s
+
+These numbers were recorded on a Core 2 2400 MHz and may turn out to
+be bullshit, given my few node.js experience.
