[Xmlunit-general] XPathContext.getXPath taking bulk of compare time

[David R. <da...@ub...>]

After running some profiling on my tests I've discovered that XMLUnit is 
taking the bulk of the time and XPathContext.getXPath is taking 58% of 
XMLUnit's time. I've attached a VirtualVM Profiler screenshot.

XPathContext.getXPath is called twice every time a comparison is done to 
add the xpath for the control and test value to the created Comparison. 
However, the xpath is only needed when the comparison fails or if match 
tracking is being done. Perhaps the Comparison should only be created if 
the compare fails or maybe the xpath should only be set when compare fails?
