I'm afraid I do not have an answer to your original inquiry, but if speed is a matter for you, you may consider using XSLT 2.0 instead. There have been scenarios where increase of speed was more then 20 fold (!). The best increase of speed is where you would otherwise need recursive templates in XSLT 1.0 (i.e., string pattern searching, certain calculations, string replacement etc). Not to mention the speed you gain in the development and management cycle. The size of a typical (what is typical...) XSLT 2.0 stylesheet is roughly 30% the size of an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet (of course, largely depending on your structure). A good XSLT 2.0 capable processor is Saxon 8.9 (non-SA version is open source), both for .NET and Java. Others are Gestalt (open source) and AltovaXML (proprietary, freeware). There's one caveat though: once you start with XSLT 2.0 there's a high probability chance that you fall in love with it! Cheers, -- Abel Braaksma
