title: XML Parsing too slow!
body: <p>I wrote a java app to communicate with a web application using XML. After deployment, I found out it takes too long to parse the XML generated by the web application.</p>
  
  <p>For example, it takes about 2 minutes to login; the login information is included in the url. The web application does its processing and responds to the Java app whether the login was successful using XML returned.</p>
  
  <p>I used the standard java DOM parsing.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way I can optimize this process so that activities can be faster?</p>
