AW: XSLTMark 1.2.1, first comprehensive XSLT benchmark

Standard remark: Java performance depends on JDK. Have you considered
moving from 1.1.8 to 1.3? Should make quite a difference. But maybe
s.o. else has time to look deeper into that.

Standard question: How does it come that MSXML passes all tests is it
finally conformant or do test cases come from a  MS-ish environment?
Usually it is not as hard to derive stylesheets which bahave different
for (say) XT, Xalan and MSXML...

Anyway, interesting to look at, thank you!

> XSLTMark -- First XSLT Benchmark
> 
> DataPower's XSLTMark is the first comprehensive benchmark
> for measuring the performance of XSL processors. It can be 
> used to test
> the XSLT performance of XSL processors for XML-to-XML and XML-to-HTML
> transformations. It also provides basic compliance testing to 
> ensure that
> benchmark results are not distorted by incorrectly 
> functioning processors.
> The benchmark is a java application that uses a "Driver" class to
> communicate with the XSL processor under test. Both java and native
> (C/C++) processors are supported, with driver modules 
> available for many
> popular XSLT engines on a variety of platforms. XSLTMark is currently
> being used for performance and compliance testing at 
> DataPower, but also
> has a core suite of tests to yield benchmark figures for external
> comparison purposes.
> 
> Features:
> * Processing throughput measurement
> * Normalized score calculation
> * Balanced test suite
> * Optional standards compliance testing
> * Support for processors written in both java and C/C++
> * Cross-platform operation
> * Test drivers for most popular XSLT processors:
> 	- XT (James Clark)
> 	- Saxon (Michael Kay)
> 	- Transformiix (Mozilla)
> 	- Xalan-J (Apache)
> 	- Xalan-C++ (Apache)
> 	- MSXML (Microsoft)
> 	- Sablotron (Ginger)
> 
> System Requirements:
> * Java runtime compliant with JDK 1.1.8 or later
> * Platform suitable for processor to be tested
> 
> Availability:
> * Version 1.2.1 available for evaluation download
