Limiting XSL Results for Timely Web Page Display

I am building a search engine with ASP and XSL. One of the user?s
requirements is to limit the output to 20 items at a time. The search
engine searches an XML file and creates HTML on the server that is then
displayed in the user?s browser of the search results.
?
One alternative is to have XSL parse everything and then have ASP divide
the results into 20 item segments. Well I know this is not the best
solution, but as a XSL newbie, it is easier to comprehend, but at the
same time it does not have the precision of having XSL return a set of
20 items.  
?
Any recommendations? ?Don?t worry about patronizing me with a Mickey
Mouse explanation ? I need one!
