Ok people,

I just tried a quick test on my laptop with the patched XSLTC that Jacek
sent me. The results are outstanding!

I ran just one test, the rest isn't useful anymore:

 XSLTC (patched) on JDK 1.3.1 yields 590,44

!!!!!!!!!!!

In case you don't remember, MSXML 3.0 (natively) yields more or less 320

So, in case math is not your friend, this says that XSLTC is *twice* as
fast as a native processor on the same machine!!!!

So, Xalan, what about giving Jacek CVS commit access so that he can
continue to work on XSLTC and improve it's performance? :)

Ah, BTW, let me file my first bug report for XSTLC: the XSLTMark
'number' test gives me the following stacktrace:

number:             number.xsl          number.xml          ...

transform failed!

Also, XSLTMark reports these results

which means that 

 - alphabetize
 - html
 - summarize
 - trend

deviate from what Xalan and Saxon do (so might be a conformance error).

Question: do you Xalan guys run the conformance tests on XSLTC as well?

Now, Jacek also patched XSTLC to make it work with Cocoon.... I'm on to
try that out right now. I'll report back when I have more info.

For now, I'm *very* happy to see *finally* java shining performance-wise
:)

I think this shows that using a native XSLT processor for Cocoon isn't
such a great idea after all. Happy to find it out before attempting to
make one work :)

And remember: These are results using hotspot client technology....
hotspot server further compiles things down as you go but you need much
more runs to appreciate them... better tests will come out for real-life
use on the server.
