Description:

A stripped-down, but much faster abstract superclass for XML-Parsers.
To use: subclass from this (FastSAXDriver) instead of from SAXDriver.
(whitebox API is the same).

Disadvantages:
    no namespaces;
    no defined entities;
    all hard coded.
    treats '.' and ':' as alpha-characters within a tag.

Advantages:
    super fast


Use at your own risk, and only for XML which is known to be valid (i.e., your own).
