For testing the performance differences between the implementations, you must not mix and match implementations. It should be all Xalan or all XSLTC. Also, it is very important to TURN OFF CACHING!!! You will not be measuring differences in the transformation engines if caching is on. With two identical pipelines, with the exception of XSLTC vs. Xalan, measure the time it takes for the whole request. The difference between the times will be the result you are looking for. Do average 10 samples, dropping the high and the low samples. That will help you determine the real speed difference. Pipelines: A) G->Tc->S B) G->Tx->S If pipeline A is 30ms and pipeline B is 60ms on average, then the marginal benefit of using XSLTC is 50% --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
