Good luck,

I am new to the list, so please forgive me if I am
asking something answered elsewhere.  I have searched
the archive and FAQ and have not found the answer I am
seeking.

I need to count and number "records" in an XML file.
It would seem that recursion is the answer, but I am
concerned about performance.

When using recursion I have noticed a 10:1 performance
decrease over not using recursion.  I assume that user
error is responsible.

If I do not use a recursive function then my template
will process in roughly 1 second.  I do not get the
desired results because I need individual numbered
lines.  When I use the recursive function then
performance goes to roughly 10 seconds.

Any and all help would be appreciated.  Thanks in
advance for your time.

Example of XML file format:

<DATA>
  <RECORD>
    <INFO1>xyz</INFO1>
  </RECORD>
  <RECORD>
    <INFO1>abc</INFO1>
  </RECORD>
...
</DATA>

The desired result would be:
1 xyz
2 abc
...
