XmlDocument file Loading take too much time

Hi, i try to load an xml file using XmlDocument.Load() like the codes shown below:

XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument();
document.Load(this._svgPath);

where this._svgPath is the path for the xml file.

My problem is, the loading time is about 40 seconds which i consider too long. Is there any way that i can make it load faster?

I am quite new in XML. Any advice is highly welcomed. Thank you

Sorry for not providing proper information. Yes, i just want to load the xml file and read its contents. Because i am using XmlNodeReader(document).Read() to read the elements inside the xml file, so i use XmlDocument.Load() to create an Xml document before passing it as parameter in XmlNodeReader.

So, which method do u think is better way to read xml file contents? XmlNodeReader() or XmlTextReader() ?
