As you both suspected, the performance difference is related to the stylesheet transformation. We have now found the origin: It was a <xsl:for-each> with a "//..." selector. When we change it to something better (in our case /*/... was the better expression) the performance of the jdk xalan and the one shipped with fop was the same.
