Subject: Re: [xsl] Measuring the complexity of XSLT stylesheets From: Mukul Gandhi <mukul_gandhi@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 17 Apr 2005 18:21:08 -0700 (PDT) |
You may also explore Saxon's Performance Analysis features. It allows you to generate tabular HTML report of stylesheet execution time. Following is a description of "Saxon Performance Analysis" from its documentation. "The output identifies instructions in the original stylesheet by their name, line number, and the last few characters of the URI of their module. For each instruction it gives the number of times the instruction was executed, the average time in milliseconds of each execution, and the total time. The table is sorted according to a weighting function that attempts to put the dominant instructions at the top." I have tried this feature and have found it quite useful. I believe comparing the performance analysis reports of different XSLT transformations using Saxon, will help you to compare the complexity of the stylesheets..
