How to improve NSXMLParser performance

Question

I am developing an application where I use NSXMLParser to parse an XML file. At the moment this takes 8 seconds. But my requirement is to do the parsing within 5 seconds. How can I improve the performance of my parser?

Answer 1

Either:

1. use a faster phone
2. Use a smaller XML
3. Use a faster parser: Benchmarks on XML processors

I would say from a simple reading TBXML seems worth checking out
