RE: ANN: XSLBench - XSLT Processor Benchmark

I just used the IBM JDK 1.1.8 without any memory arguments. From my work in
Java this has always proved to be the quickest and most reliable VM I have
found. I will try playing with the memory settings to see how that effects
the results.

The Sablotron processor is indeed a very good performer on the these tests
but I must say the surprise for me was MSXML. Despite their early poor
conformance record the results are good.

It is puzzling to me that Sablotron does not appear to support any form of
compiled style sheets. It's such an obvious way of speeding up the transform
that I can't believe they have not thought about this?

Regards,
Kev.

Thats quite interesting. I found when testing processors that  the
Java-based ones vary *widely* depending on the Java setup used, the
memory allocated, etc. So I would take your results with  a pinch of
salt at present.

The consistent feature to my eye of this test, the Perl-based
reported yesterday, and my own is the excellent performance of
Sablotron. I just hope they can keep up the work as they add the
remaining missing features.
