Basically what we do is to pre-compile the .xsl file and cache is for future use 
(using Turbine's global cache).  Each time a page
is requested we use this pre-compiled .xsl and transform xml to html.  The reason for 
this being that we use WM to add dynamic
content to the .xml from for example a database.

You get some performance penalty, but not crippling.  (JMeter with 10+ threads still 
give an average page load time of well under a
second) - The machine is a Win98 Box - 350Mhz Pentium + JDK1.2 + Interbase.  Nothing 
fancy.  I suspect on a 600MHz Linux box
performance will be more than satisfactory.

I'm putting final touches on XmlSite* that we are currently using.  I'll post the 
final on Tuesday (hopefully Monday :-).  There are
still some performance improvements I have to look into...
