Do you have any link?
My point is that if you say thing like "significantly/several times higher memory footprint than X" you are basically scaring the users away from the module. If for an average documents it takes, say, 30-50MB of memory, it seems perfectly reasonable to me, even if ElementTree takes 3-5MB. I would actually consider 100-200MB still ok too, unless I have to parse lot of documents or I'm running low of memory for other reasons. |
