Your measurements are probably dominated by the time taken to start up the
Java VM and the XSLT processor.

If you do lots of such transformations, I would expect them to take about
100ms each; if you do lots using the same stylesheet, about 50ms each.
Depending on many factors, such as your processor, your Java VM, the amount
of memory, etc.
