Now that's slow! I haven't benchmarked the available XSLT processors in a
while, and the last time I did, I didn't include Xalan-C because it was
only available via an enormous http download. I did find that libxslt was
a good bit (maybe 50%) faster than Sablotron, and IIRC about 65 times
faster than Xalan-J.
In fairness, my test was probably biased against Java, in that there were
about 100 individual invocations of the command-line utilities.
