I have a large XML file and it takes quite a long time for gscanner to read it. Using quantify shows that several calls to read are made. I wonder if things can be sped up by allowing the caller to specify the buffer size used for read? Currently this is set by a macro in gscanner.c to 4000 bytes. I would like to use a larger value when I am using a larger XML file. Any thoughts?
