RE: ANN: XSLBench - XSLT Processor Benchmark

[Andrew Kimball <akimball@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is something to be said for publishing two sets of results:

1) Default performance, with a minimum of time spent tweaking and testing.
This represents "out-of-the-box" performance that even the most uninformed
user would get.

2) Tuned performance, where experts in the use of the processor can tweak
settings and maybe even change the stylesheet to an equivalent stylesheet
that may perform better on that particular processor.  One fair way to do
this would be to have one equivalent stylesheet submitted in behalf of each
processor.  Say this resulted in 10 stylesheets.  Each of those 10
stylesheets would be run on each of the 10 processors and only the best time
would be kept.  That way, each processor would have every chance to log its
best possible time for a given processing task.
