============================================================
The purpose of the benchmark file was to prove that variations
in EDD complexity are not a major factor in the time is takes
to import an SGML document instance. You are incorrect in
stating that the benchmark file has no entity references.
It has many references to ISO character entities, some of
which (e.g., fractions) are converted to variables.
