     Diego's done a little benchmarking of Crimson (the parser in the JDK) and the StAX RI.  StAX comes out way ahead, but there are still some things to wonder about:  Can StAX validate?  Crimson can, and is likely taking a hit for it.  If he compared it to Xerces-J, I'd have to ask whether StAX can validate schema?   One interesting comparison would be against NekoPull.
I'm excited about StAX, but having worked on Xerces-J, I also know that there are lots of factors that could be influencing the numbers.   The thing that is clear, is that the code is a lot simpler.  The performance stuff is just repeated application of solid engineering.
