Yepp.

Used to report an exception. Search shows 8 files. The most important
ones are:
  org\apache\xalan\processor\TransformerFactoryImpl.java
  org\apache\xalan\transformer\TransformerIdentityImpl.java
  org\apache\xalan\transformer\TransformerImpl.java
  org\apache\xpath\XPath.java

It is instantiated as often as these classes are instantiated. In
Cocoon, TransformerIdentityImpl is used in every SAX pipeline at least
once.

Nope... Yet.

I saw one issue with XSPs & classloaders: Every compilation of XSP
creates a ClassLoader (for obvious reasons), which is not garbage
collected (under OptimizeIt).

Ok, you already have a volunteer for this. Good luck, John! :)
