Yes, I agree with Berin on this, though I also agree with Jacek that
there's little reason that it should not scale well.
Another factor is "incremental" output, which Xalan interpretive does a lot
of work to do well (and tends to take penalty for), and XSLTC may have a
much harder time at. On the other hand, especially given cacheing,
incrementality may not matter at all. On the other hand, given Cocoon
pipelines, it may matter a lot.
(Hopefully, XSLTC can eventually be given incremental capabilities...
though certainly not at the expense of any performance).
I would like to eventually see much more sophisticated benchmarks than
XSLTMark, which I think only tells about 20% of the performance story.

My question is this: how does it _scale_.
For instance, The ECM is quite resonable with only a few threads, but in
a server environment where there can be as many as 150 or more
concurrent threads it slows down so badly it is unusable. A fresh
approach reaping the benefits of the lessons of the ECM and Phoenix
proved that the new approach can handle the load *much* more gracefully.
I would like to see the *same* tests with 100 threads each performing
500 translations (yes they can have their own instance of the translet
in each thread as is necessary). I would like to see that in comparison
to Xalan and Saxon.
That is the most important lesson we can learn.
