|| My experience is that slow XSLT transformations typically are

|| 
||    <xsl:value-of select="//customer/name"/>
|| 
|| when what they *REALLY* meant was:
|| 
||    <xsl:value-of select=".//customer/name"/>
|| 
|| or even worse if what they really meant was:
|| 
||    <xsl:value-of select="customer/name"/>
|| 
|| You might search your stylesheet for "//" and make sure

Great news. Major difference!

If you are not already caching the stylesheet for reuse,
that might further shave off time for each "run".

I have plans to produce new content to cover the major
new XML database features coming in our Oracle9i **Release 2**
database in 2002, but due to many other pulls on my time,
it's hard to estimate when that material might be coming out :-)
