It seems that large XML files are more common nowadays.
Since xmlwf defaults to using memory mapped files,
this means that checking large files can cause
"out of memory" errors, if this behaviour is not
turned off using the -r option.
I am trying to get feedback from the list if we
should change the default to regular I/O, and add
a -m option for those situations where ultimate
performance is the goal. This can improve the speed
of xmlwf by about 15%, as reported by an Expat user.
