Hi,
I had a performance problem which was like this, in that some code running
as an application was dozens of times faster that the same code running as a
servlet. Eventually I was able to track the difference down. It turned out
that the problem code was using Class.forName() and Class.newInstance() a
lot, and that because the servlet engine has to be able to reload classes,
these methods are much more complicated, and therefore much slower, in that
environment.
It's just a guess, but Xalan does use these methods a lot too, and that
might be related to your problem.
