Hi Deborah, Thanks for your response. I had tried the approach your suggested as well, but no improvement in performance. :( I am using Saxon8, that seems to be smartly execute the position()=1 iteration only once. (I verified this using Stylus Studio debugger). Are there any other suggestions? Any possibility of introducing parallelism, etc? :-) Many thanks, - Sujata On 10/7/07, Deborah Pickett <debbiep-list-xsl@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Sujata Gohad wrote: > > <xsl:for-each select="locus[position()=1]"> > > <xsl:text >M </xsl:text > > > <xsl:value-of select="@ellipse_x"/ > > > <xsl:text > </xsl:text > > > <xsl:value-of select="@ellipse_y"/ > > > </xsl:for-each > > > <xsl:for-each select="locus[position()!=1]"> > > <xsl:text > L</xsl:text > > > <xsl:value-of select="@ellipse_x"/ > > > <xsl:text > </xsl:text > > > <xsl:value-of select="@ellipse_y"/ > > > </xsl:for-each > > > > Is there a way to faster iteration of the "locus" elements? > > See if this is any quicker: > > <xsl:for-each select="locus"> > <xsl:choose> > <xsl:when test="position() = 1"> > <xsl:text>M </xsl:text> > </xsl:when> > <xsl:otherwise> > <xsl:text> L </xsl:text> > </xsl:otherwise> > </xsl:choose> > <xsl:value-of select="@ellipse_x"/ > > <xsl:text > </xsl:text > > <xsl:value-of select="@ellipse_y"/ > > </xsl:for-each> > > Depending on your XSLT processor, your original code may be constructing > up to four node-sets: locus, the subset when position() = 1, locus > (again), the subset when position() != 1. > > You're allowed to use position() in almost any expression, not just as > the predicate of a prior selection.
