This is tricky because VTD-XML is an in memory processing model of the
whole document. Comparing VTD-XML with a complete parse with SAX is just
as misleading as comparing VTD-XML with half a parse using StAX.
I think the only way this can be done, as I and Tatu have said, is to
perform some different processing scenarios as developers would intend
to use the different APIs.
Great discussion!
