Edward, What is beyond the scope (note, I'm not saying "extremely objectionable") in this (xslt) forum is a suggestion to use d-o-e just as a substitute of an XSLT solution: 1. It was already pointed out by Wendell and Mike that in case you wanted a non-XSLT solution, you'd be better off using another language -- e.g. Pearl. 2. It is well-known that using XSLT for processing extremely large (having hundreds of thousands of nodes) xml documents is and will be slow. Somebody could even speculate that the real problem with processing such big documents stems from bad design... To summarise, in this XSLT forum you asked for an XSLT solution and it was offered to you. In case you found this response "exteremely objectionable", then most probably it is not an XSLT solution that you're looking after. BTW, my results are absolutely different. For 22000 "x" elements the timings I got for the DVC solution (a little bit slower that the non-recursive) are: MSXML4: 0.421 sec. Saxon 6.5.2: 1.162 sec. XalanJ3.2: Similar to Saxon XalanC: 4.196 sec. You have never showed us your real xml document. Most probably the problem you formulated here is a gross simplification of your real one, how otherwise to explain the vast difference in timings? ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
