Hi
I'm trying to use tika-parsers to parse a 100mb xlsx file.
I find myself waiting a lot of time (maybe an hour or two) and rarely have
the file parsed.
usually i get a "gc overhead limit exceeded" exception.

When I parse the same file with a few lines of code using POI library, the
file is pared successfully, and relatively fast.

Any inputs on this?

I use tika-core-0.10 and tika-parsers-0.10 when I use tika and poi-3.8-beta3
when I use POI.

Upgrade! Try Tika 1.1, it uses event based XLSX parsing so should be
quicker and lower memory for .xlsx files than in 0.10

I look at the code and it seems both tika-1.1 and tika-0.10 use
XSSFEvenBasedExcelExtractor for xlsx parsing.

any other areas of difference?
