Just a recall about cross-post policy (FAQ: Is it OK if I cross-post?).

And also for reference, the issue opened in GH

I posted in the community and still waiting for anyones input, I dont know that …anyone will respond, I dont think I can make the right reprex for this, but its about logarithmic performance degredation when increasing the filesize when reading in XML. I was wondering this behavior happens because I am not using the library as intended. Perhaps I am supposed to read large XML straight into List structure ?? Sorry for cross-post, trying to keep it a usage question first. Or perhaps I am catching a bug ? Here is the post https://community.rstudio.com/t/xml2-library-question-about-correct-usage-of-library-or-have-i-found-a-bug-related-to-performance/60443 or shall we can turn this into a reprex .... Peter ```r # insert reprex here ```
