XOM API for Processing XML with Java

You can also use the JDK 1.4 HPROF profiler, it's just that it has  
somewhat more overhead (perturbing measurements lead to misleading  
interpretation). BTW, I wouldn't recommend profiling on MacOSX with  
any profiling technology, Apple VMs (including 1.5) are rather crappy  
and the profiler results are mostly misleading.
