Thank you for including the code, it was a great honour. I'm currently working in other optimization, again in Transforms class, it seems that this class is invoked a lot(I´m optimizing a Liberty implementation, not based in opensaml, for Ericsson). The method ispublic Transform item(int i) is called 68 times and consumes about 1.5sec of 2.3ms of all the sign methods.It seems it could take much less time. I will see if change it to dom can improve the signing. I think i will have it ready for this afternoon(spain time about 20:00GMT).
In case can be also included in the 1.1 release. Regards,
