Please, Stefano. No offense taken, and I was not trying to be defensive.
I agree 100% that XSLTC is an ideal choice for high performance
applications. If I didn't think so it wouldn't have been brought into the
Xalan project. We put a lot of our hopes into XSLTC. I agree 100% with
your conclusions.
But we need to have discussions about incrementality, large document size,
and a few other issues that XSLTC may have without getting into
us-versus-them or whatever.

Sigh. I'm not criticizing the results of the DataPower/XSLTMark
benchmarks... they tell an important story and I've been running them since
they first appeared.

Well, this is the same old tune as for all benchmarks. Give me a more
sofisticated one and I'll be happy to run the tests again.
But one thing is for sure, XSLTC is way faster than Xalan and, given
choice, I would use the first for performance-critical applications.
No offense, of course, just the plain facts.
