That will be really handy. It's not often that I do work with files of this size, but it can get really tedious. Could I suggest an option to allow switching off of the IE preview mode in such circumstances, or switching to 'in tree' or 'in text' preview modes.

Yup. Depending on what I'm doing it's anywhere from 12 to 22meg. When I can save it, it does save cleanly, even if I've terminated the MSXSL process in the Windows Task Manager.
PS. Could you please set up the functionality to allow cancellation of a running MSXSL process from within Stylus (even if it is find the thread and terminate it).

Yup, as long as I've been able to save it first of course.
Doing this work brings me back to a much earlier suggestion of mine, that is, of getting Stylus to offer XSLT profiling.
Here's some further comments on that:
* I've been using MSXML 4 for development simply because it runs a lot faster than Stylus' internal processor for these larger files.
* For basic profiling, simply record how much time is spent in each template, and which template calls to which other template (for a given scenario).
* When profiling, turn off as much of the other debugging features as possible that may impact performance.
Regards, Lee
