My timings for the XSLT compiler were obtained from within a Java
application and therefore aren't affected by JVM initialisation time and my
Xalan timings were the numbers produced by Xalan itself for the
transformation step only. I believe these give a like-with-like comparison.

I agree entirely. I did say my tests were limited and unscientific.

Oh good! Could you point me at a URL for these benchmarks? I've seen figures
for other XSLT processors but not for XSLTC.
