Ai NarazakiSubject: Slow for-each select
Author: Ai Narazaki
Date: 18 Jun 2008 09:55 AM
Hello,

I have a for-each select call that is taking a long time (i.e. 10+ seconds) to load and I don't know why. There are ~1500 <d12> elements.

Thank you very much for your help.

This is the template:

<xsl:template name="myTemplate">
<xsl:for-each select="/a/b/c/d/d12[not(.=following::d12)]">
...
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>


This is the structure of my XML:

<a>
<b>
<c>
<d>
<d1/>
<d2/>
<d3/>
<d4/>
<d5/>
<d6/>
<d7/>
<d8/>
<d9/>
<d10/>
<d11/>
<d12/>
<d13/>
<d14/>
</d>
</c>
</b>
</a>

Hi,
which XSLT processor are you using?

Sorry, should have mentioned that. I'm using XSLT through Sarissa in a web browser. The delay only occurs in FireFox, not IE 7, but I need it to work properly in all browsers.

Thanks! :o)

Hi,
it looks that Sarissa is just a wrapper around the XSLT processor provided by the browser. It looks that if you prefer predictability you can force him to always use Javeline (see http://dev.abiss.gr/sarissa/howtos.html#javeline).
Unfortunately, if the bottleneck is the XSLT processor used by Firefox, the only thing you can do is avoiding the usage of the following:: axis in the XPath expression, as that usually breaks the optimizations made by an XSLT engine.

Do you know how I might re-write the expression without using following::?

I basically want all of the unique D12 elements. Each D12 element, without exception, contains a tiny bit of text like this <d12>some text</d12>

Thanks

Your expression is simply testing the next d12 element, not extracting all the unique values; if you really need to iterate over all the unique d12 elements you have to use xsl:key

Problem solved - Thank you very much Alberto :o)

For the benefit of others, this is what I changed my code to:

<xsl:key name="d12" match="d12" use="."/>

<xsl:template name="myTemplate">
<xsl:for-each select="/a/b/c/d/d12[generate-id()=generate-id(key('d12',.))]">
...
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
