1/. We have the XSL transformation taking place inside an application deployed in JBOSS app server. There are no restart of JVM. Initialisation of memory takes only during jboss startup.
I don't know much about JBoss, but it's a pretty huge application. You may be testing JBoss instead of Xalan. In order to test Xalan, I'd rather use a leaner frame, maybe just the simplest of programs which does what you describe below using loops and timestamps.
2/. As mentioned by Tatu, I believe we do allow time for JVM to warmup. We run around 200 XSL transformations first, after this, we collect the average time taken for around 1000 transactions.
Sounds very reasonable to me. Michael
