text disable output escaping
Everyone looking at your code is immediately struck by the horrible use
of disable-output-escaping to write tags. But that's distracting people
from the real problem, which is:

<xsl:when test="unit=preceding::unit">
>      <xsl:choose>
>       <xsl:when test="schedule=preceding::schedule">

The preceding axis is very expensive, it has O(n^2) performance because
it searches the entire document up to the context node. I don't have
time to study your problem and suggest anything better, but the answer
is usually one or more of:

* use preceding-sibling
* use preceding::x[1]
* use keys
