= Project Summary =

The project has two parts:


 * 1) Profiling and and performance enhancements for current XML Dumps
 * 2) Working on a new format for dumps based on sqlite

Profiling XML Dumps
Profile the current XML Dumping process, identify bottlenecks and fix them wherever I can. I've already started doing this - forward porting Ludovic's work on UtfNormal to current trunk provided a speed increase of ~5% with the php extension and ~8.5x without. I'm sure that with more work, a lot more performance can be squeezed out of the current code. Xml.php looks like a good place to start.
