Re: Building Xalan on Linux

Weird, I thought -O was the same as -O2 -- at least it used to be.

I'll update runConfigure to pass through -O2.  Thanks for the report!

I downloaded and built Xalan on Linux with GCC and ran it. It was much
slower than both both MSXML and libxslt. Then I checked the CFLAGS and
added
-O2. Now it is a just little bit slower than MSXML and libxslt, but much
faster than it was, by an order of magnitude. Any reason why you don't
enable -O2 by default for linux?
