If that's from the command line, then probably 5 seconds is for initialising
the Java VM and loading all the classes. If command line processing is what
you intend to do, that's fine, but don't extrapolate from this to an
environment where lots of stylesheets are being executed in turn (or a
single stylesheet is being executed repeatedly).
