We use this setup, and have gotten it to work quite well, but if you're
using XSLT, then the transformer you're using could be a large part of
the process cost. Also, we had to re-write a lot of code to actually
clean things up because we were doing things in improper ways.
Eventually we squeezed every bit of speed we could have and the
difference between say, SSI parsed data and JBoss/Tomcat using
transforms from a datasource, then handing that to mod_jk/apache is
actually within 1 or 2 second differences. In certain test cases, even
possibly less.

FYI.
