I don't want to get into a which is faster debate but this is really suspect. I benchmark processors as part of my job and under no circumstances have I found this to be true. I have found many of the Java processor are quicker than libxslt, including jd.xslt, Resin, Saxon and XT. Because of differences between JVM implementations the margin is different between Windows/Linux. In fact in a league table of Windows processors libxslt comes in 6th out of 11. > > I guess Sablotron is pretty fast, but I have heard it has standards- > compliance issues.

Hopefully in the near future I can point you at some real figures, but I don't have anything I can release today to back this up. Kev.
