The usage of <xs:choice maxOccurs="unbo unded">

The usage of <xs:choice maxOccurs="unbo unded">

When we want to define a set of elements that could be in any order and
with any occurences (0-unbounded), we can use <xs:choice
maxOccurs="unbo unded">

But I alway think that is not a good schema definition for XML files,
and it must influence the writing and reading performance of these set
of elements if there are large amounts of sub-elements. We can imagine
that the retrieval of any single element will need to loop through all
the subelements.... ...

Any advices of this will be highly appreciated!!

If there are many sub-elements, it takes more time to read them than if
there are only a few. The use of maxOccurs="unbo unded" (or simply not
specifying maxOccurs at all) doesn't change that. If anything, unbounded
might reduce parsing cost because there's no need to maintain a counter
and check whether it has been exceeded.

You're wasting time trying to micro-optimize the wrong things.

I guess whether it is in order does make difference..

I have a thread which is used for updating a display window. The normal paint message queue is being bypassed in favor of drawing on demand by this thread. This thread is passed a Graphics context, draws it's image, and then sleeps for a small number of milliseconds. I'm on windows 2000 and watching the CPU usage graph when I run my program. For the most part, CPU usage corelates to the length of the sleep delay in my thread. The...

Would a Python process consume more memory on a PC with lots of memory? For example, say I have the same Python script running on two WinXP computers that both have Python 2.4.0. One computer has 256 MB of Ram while the other has 2 GB of Ram. On the machine with less Ram, the process takes about 1 MB of Ram. On the machine with more Ram, it uses 9 MB of Ram. Is this normal and expected behavior?

Hello I have noticed some 'weird' memory usage in a vb.net windows app The situation is as follows I have an app (heavy on images) with 2 forms (actually there are more forms and on starting the app I load some things into memory for global use of the app but I'll use only 2 starting forms to explain the situation) situation 1 start app with form 1 (72mb memory usage), show form 2 and hide form 1 (89 mb memory usage

Hello, I'm exploring why one of my C# .NET apps has "high" memory usage, and whether I can reduce the memory usage. I have an app that wakes up and processes text files into a database periodically. What happens, is that the app reads the contents of a text file line by line into an ArrayList. Each element of the ArrayList is a string representing a record from the file. The ArrayList is then processed, and the arraylist goes out of...

How come .Net applications use so much memory? Every application I compile uses at least 10 MB of memory, even the ones consisting of only a form and nothing else. If I minimize them though the memory usage drops to a couple hundred KB. Why? Is there anything I should to to prevent this? I have compiled in release and deactivated all forms of debugging, I think! Thanks, Philip

My app contains utility meter usage. One of the things we have to deal with is when a usage is clearly incorrect. Perhaps someone wrote the meter reading down incorrectly or made a factor of 10 error when entering the reading, etc. At other times the usage is zero or somehow was entered as a negative number. So I'm thinking about adding functionality to search for such anomalies. For instance, show months where the meter reading is...

Hi, I developed an asp.net based eCommerce Website for a client and it is hosted at discount asp. The site is quite interactive, queries a database a lot and uses ajax.asp.net to spice up interactivity. The service suffers from a lot of restarts since discountasp enforces a 100mb per worker thread limit and when you top it, the service gets restarted. When there is a lot of traffic on the site, this happens

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
