Xalan semi-incrementally builds an index. xsl:key tends to be very fast. Your best bet at understanding what Xalan does is to look at the code.

Subject: XSL:KEY VS
XSL:VARIABLES

Hi,
We are working on a project with multiple languages and we want to know if
their is a performance issue when using XSL:KEY with an xml file (using a
<xsl:for-each> on a document) vs defining a whole bunch of xsl variables
and doing a xsl choose.
Does Xalan load the keys into memory ? How does it manage the xml files
that it imports ? Any information on this subject would be appreciated.
