[xsl] selecting from list with xalan:evaluate

[Michael Zehrer <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list,

I have a performance problem with xalan:evaluate, first the scenario:

<somegeneratedxml>
	<wishlist>
		<item id="length">
		      <item id="weight">
			    <item id="speed">
			    </wishlist>
			    <data>
				<item>
						<length>100</length>
								<height>100</height>
										<weight>100</weight>
												<color>red</color>
														<speed>100</speed>
															</item>
															 <item>
															   <length>100</length>
															     <height>100</height>
															       <weight>100</weight>
															         <color>red</color>
																   <speed>100</speed>
																    </item>
																     ... a lot more item childs
																     </datat>
</somegeneratedxml>

the wishlist items are dynamic and represent the set of data that I want to pick from each item in the data set, so I constructed for each wishlist/item a path with xalan:evaluate, which selects the elements from each data/item, but this is very slow. A better idea anyone?y slow. A better idea anyone?
