Re: Pulling v/s Pushing

Hi Alec,
   those links proved very useful in knowing what is
pulling v/s pushing. Thanks for that. But I still have
few questions
1) what makes pulling faster than pushing? I mean if
your program gets the control from parser, how does it
help? Where was the parser lagging?
2) Why do the comaprsion with SAX2 vary so much and
why do pull parser loose it's edge for large
documents?
3) What is roundtrip?

   Thanks,
     Nikhil
