  Subject: question related to Java VM

First, which Saxon? 8.7 or 6.5.5? And which release of Stylus
Studio? I'm going to guess a recent one, so the actual answers
might not be quite on target...

What do you mean by that? Do you get an error?
Try just putting -Xmx512m; otherwise, you're telling the JVM
to reserve 1/2 gig of RAM+swap, which may be more than it is
available.

"External". But if you run it from within Stylus Studio, don't
forget to account for the memory that Stylus Studio itself is
using, along with whatever other applications are loaded.

All backmapping overhead - unless you've explicitly enabled
profiling. The profiling overhead is huge if you've asked it
to trace every event; it's a pretty significant hit otherwise.
The only good news is that the hit is taken all at the end of
the transformation, in the step that analyzes and reports, so
the actual overhead during the transformation is insignificant.

Not inside of Stylus Studio, except as an external process.
