Hi,

I am transforming a large (6000+K) XML document using xalan 2.0.1. The file
is parsed using xerces 2.0.1.  Performing the transform in various
environments including the WebSphere Test Environment (in VAJ 4.0) and
Tomcat 4.1 takes less than 2.5 minutes consistently.  However, performing
the transform in the WebSphere  5.0.1 Enterprise environment takes anywhere
from 5 to 7 minutes consistently, and the procesing power of the WebSphere
5.0.1 Enterprise environment surpasses that of the others.   
I am quite sure that I am using the identical xalan and xerces versions in
all environments (I have replaced the default xml libraries for the
application server provided with WebSphere  5.0.1 Enterprise environment as
described in
http://www.developer.ibm.com/tech/faq/individual/0,,2:25082,00.html ). I
have gone as far as to put trace messages inside the xalan TransformerImpl
class to verify that the right class is being loaded and used.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Environment:  WebSphere 5.0 Enterprise Edition (fixpack 5.0.1 applied)
Xalan version: 2.0.1
Xerces version: 2.0.1

Thanks,
        Eric Chijioke
