Caching happens at many levels on a properly designed server environment: transform, file, database, referenced Java objects and HTML page come to mind immediately. The hardware on the server will also have other assists. You might get some of these on the client, but not all of them (e.g., when's the last time you configured a client with 128MB of memory on a RAID controller?). > - The server is also centralized, so many high-processing transformations > will more likely bog down if server-side is used.

It seems to me that the main time you can design for client side transform is on an Intranet where you have control over the client. As such you have some control over the network and it's likely a LAN or WAN. As such, if the table is really big enough to have an impact on the network then it's likely that client is in danger of running into problems crunching the thing in the first place...? > electricity (network traffic all > requires electricity all along the way), If and only if you have reused transforms on the client. > less help desk headaches (less of a lag > on the client so less angry people calling up to demand that it get faster) Boy, that seems a leap. Ever had to field the support calls that come in when you upgrade a users browser from what they are used to? (Or for that matter, ever had to manage the support costs associated with upgrading 2000 copies of IE 5 to use MSXML 3?) XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
