Re: xsl:for-each efficiency

Please see --

http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N1014A

for hints to speed XSLT transformations..


It says --
1) Don't use "//" (descendant axes) patterns near the
root of a large document. 

2) Use xsl:key elements and the key() function as an
efficient way to retrieve node sets.
