I think that posting benchmarks without posting the stylesheet is a little
like complaining that a programming language is slow without posting the
program!

Anyhow, James Clark's XSL processor is not optimized yet. It makes sense
not to optimize while the standard is still shifting around.

Plus, we can't tell from your message how much of the time you are
complaining about is startup time. I hear you saying that you are
processing 100kb in one second. If that includes JVM startup time, XT/XP
startup time, and so forth then that sounds pretty good to me!
