There are several places where FileInputStream is used for reading xml files. Because XML parser uses inputStream.read() method for reading one byte, it seems to be better to provide BufferedInputStream to InputSource. Such minor optimization can reduce the number of I/O operations and perhaps it will be little bit faster.

Btw: I did more performance improvements (don't touch update_tracking/*.xml during generating data model and eliminate single byte reads from FileInputStream)
I can confirm only buffered streams are used.
