[xsl] More efficient way than following-sibling?

["Michael Glick (B)" <MGlick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to find a more efficient way to determine if a node has
siblings, and then access the next sibling.

Currently, I am running the following XSLT code:

<xsl:if test="$TheNode/following-sibling::node()">
 <xsl:call-template name="GenericTemplate">
  <xsl:with-param name="TheNode" select="$TheNode/following-sibling::*[1]"/>
 </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>

However, this is very expensive, when it comes to large XML documents.

Does anyone know a more efficient way to do this?
