Re: Here's how to benchmark your XSLT program's execut

What does this tell you? The time for 10...0 iterations of an xsl:for-each?
Or of an xsl:variable? Or an xsl:sequence? Or how well equipped your system
is to output text to standard output?

I'd like to know the cost of one iteration plus the creation of a variable.
