[Freeswitch-users] ReloadXML takes very long time

The philosophy on xml_curl is to leverage the resilience of existing http
clusters so the complexity is left to that component.
You have some choices:

1) Use the xml_curl and DB on the local box itself so you can not worry
about losing connections to a db.
2) Use the xml dp file feature where you set the dialplan to
XML:/path/to/file.xml which is same format of what xml_curl returns and is
static.
3) Write an XML hook module in C using the same technique as xml_curl that
takes  the search params and chooses the correct static files to parse.
4) Clean up your patch and try to get it into HEAD without breaking
anything.

I would like to implement caching too but the challenge is you need to know
which of the 100 input fields are relevant to the results returned so you
can key the cache on those specific params.

I recommend you make sure you fully understand all of the above choices and
make some educated decisions about what you want to do before you turn
to surgery on the core of FS.
