Most People Satisfied With Cellular
Coverage

Most People Satisfied With Cellular
Coverage 04/27/2004 02:35 PM
For years, one of the biggest complaints with mobile phone service was that the coverage was terrible. The carriers have worked hard to improve coverage ("can you hear me now?") around the country, and it appears people are noticing. 68% of users now say they're perfectly satisfied with their carrier's coverage. Only 10% were dissatisfied. This suggests that carriers shouldn't necessarily be focused on coverage, but on other issues. Of course, this also contradicts recent studies saying that instead of focusing on extra bells and whistles people would prefer that carriers make sure their network works. That could just be the fact that even if there's coverage, people still get upset by dropped calls. It would also be interesting to compare this study to one that shows how many people dislike their carrier. I wonder how many people who are satisfied with coverage are upset over other issues (such as billing or customer service).

MSN TV Broadband: High Speed Web TV

MSN TV Broadband: High Speed Web TV 07/27/2004 01:12 PM

It's not 1998, I promise, despite this announcement from Microsoft and Thomson to release an updated MSN-branded set-top box for browsing the web and streaming media from other household PCs. To launch in October, the $200 broadband-enabled box will come with a wireless keyboard and remote and will not have much in the way of built-in storage to "prevent vulnerability to virus attacks" (and to keep things cheap). MSN TV (formerly Web TV) has a small, if anachronistically loyal following, but is there really a need for a second generation, even if it does support broadband? Especially if it supports broadband?

The current-generation device is pictured; we'll get you pictures of the new device as soon as we can.

High Speed XML Parsing is Not Intuitive

High Speed XML Parsing is Not Intuitive 02/11/2004 03:58 AM
For a PHP weblog, there haven't been many PHP articles or links recently. This is because I feel most recent PHP articles I read have nothing fresh to say, repeating material I linked to 2 or 3 years ago. Perhaps I'm getting jaded. So to keep things fresh, here's a new article, mostly original, and hopefully of some interest to everyone!

Last year, Tim Bray, one of the co-authors of the XML spec, mentioned that he used Perl regular expressions to parse XML.

Now here's the dirty secret; most of it is machine-generated XML, and in most cases, I use the perl regexp engine to read and process it.

I was struck by this because I would have thought XPath or SAX would provide better performance as they are APIs tuned specifically for XML.

I decided to do some benchmarks to determine which techniques were better. I also wanted a realistic test, so I benchmarked parsing the RSS feed of this web-site, searching for the contents of all title tags, and returning the contents as an array. The RSS file is from Nov 2003 (yes i did this benchmark that long ago), and is about 20K and has 12 title tags, so the returned array will have 12 title strings.

The techniques used were:

1. Regular expression: preg_match_all('/<title>([^<]*)/',$rss,$titles_arr))

2. Explode('<title>', $rss) then strip the matching </title> tag using strpos() and substr().

3. XPath, using $title_nodes = $ctx->xpath_eval("//title");

4. SAX, wrote an element handler function that matched and processed the title tag.

5. DOM, using $titles = $dom->get_elements_by_tagname('title'). Intuitively, this should have been the slowest, as the whole tree is generated.

Results

Here are the timings for processing the RSS file 1000 times. Faster is better.

            seconds       Relative 
                          to REGEX
REGEX       0.1080          1.00
EXPLODE     0.1696          1.57
DOM         6.3212         58.53
XPATH       8.3417         77.24
SAX        10.0851         93.38

Conclusion

Intutively, I would have thought that XPath would be the fastest as XPath expressions can be compiled and tuned for XML. But the best performance was achieved using regular expressions, which is what Tim is using.

It appears that the DOM, SAX and XPath libraries remain immature (compared to the Perl-compatible regex library) and are not highly optimized. Strangely enough, DOM performance is better than XPath and SAX! Perhaps someone else can explain why.

If anyone is interested, i can post the source.

Test platform: Windows 2000, PHP 4.3.3. I also tested on Linux, PHP 4.3.2, with similar results.
