I think it really depends on the application -- in a commercial setting,
it is much cheaper to switch to a high-speed XSLT engine than to consume
developer time to rewrite stylesheets or, worse, add non-portable
extensions to get around an XSLT interpreter's performance problems.
In a non-profit or hobby setting, where spending money is not possible,
hand-optimization is obviously the only option. (Mike had a list of XSLT
performance hints, but my link seems broken; there have also been some
more specific fixes on this list). Maybe you could post your XSL?

And yes, given MSXML's speed advantages, it is probably true that
switching to another free XSLT interpreter is unlikely to help. (But not
impossible -- some engines do have non-uniform performance for different
kinds of processing).
