DataSet loDSZips = new DataSet();
loDSZips.ReadXml( new StringReader(lcXML) );

In the above lines of code lcXML is an XML string that is returned by a VFP DLL using
cursortoxml(). The method call to get a rather large string takes maybe 2 seconds, the ReadXml() call in the above code takes over 30 seconds.

Is there a faster way to get an XML string into a dataset?
