Not in general. In fact, the opposite is true. Utilizing schema would require using XMLValidatingReader, which performs additional validation work. Use schema only if you aren’t sure about the structure of a document you are parsing. Also, having schema is recommended if you intend to populate a DataSet from the XML data source.
