Re: Why is Xalan for C++ slower than the Java version?

To which benchmarks are you referring?  Our testing shows Xalan-C++ to be
generally faster than the Java version.

Hello,

I was wondering if someone of the developers can tell me
why the Xalan for Java performs better in the benchmarks
than the C++ version.  Aren't the algorithms pretty much
the same?  Shouldn't the C++ version perform better than
the Java version then?  The benchmarks don't compare the
same versions of Xalan, so are the newer versions just
implemented more efficiently?

thanks
