Benchmark

For the above example (locally):

download.file(u, path <- tempfile(fileext = ".xml"), quiet = TRUE)
microbenchmark::microbenchmark(
  readsdmx = readsdmx::read_sdmx(path),
  rsdmx = as.data.frame(rsdmx::readSDMX(path, FALSE)),
  times = 5L,
  unit = "s"
)

#> Unit: seconds
#>      expr    min     lq   mean median     uq    max neval
#>  readsdmx  0.152  0.153  0.159  0.161  0.165  0.165     5
