What Mike is saying is that the problem *very* likely comes from  
what's in your style sheet. It's got nothing to do with the speed of  
parsing XML. Even the slowest XML parser running on an ancient  
feature phone doesn't take 80 minutes. Anyone can write a style sheet  
that's O(n^2), it's trivial.
