First, you should consider (as i think Martin said) the Java runtime startup time, typically a second or so. Second, BaseX is a database. If you will process the same document many times, first load it into a database and then use the Python BaseX client. This will avoid startup time, and, more importantly, will allow BaseX to make use of database indexes. If you will only process any given document once, then Saxon may well be the appropriate tool. liam -- Liam Quin, https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/ Available for XML/Document/Information Architecture/XSLT/ XSL/XQuery/Web/Text Processing/A11Y training, work & consulting.
