I plugged saxon into my application code. 1000 TRANSACTION element report (report button click in application to pdf display to user)
Before using xalan (4 minutes 20 seconds) Now using saxon (1 minute 45 seconds) Quite a difference!

I also found that certain XPATH expressions produced significant differences in processing time between the different processors. (One surprise was that Saxon 6.5.3 (I think) took a long time with XPATH expressions involving '../somexpathexpression'. Just defining a variable that was '..' and using '$variable/somexpathexpression' vastly improved things.) So - I think XPATH between different processors is like SQL between different relational databases. They all do different optimisations. You need to tune your XSLT for your processor.
