Comments, processing instructions, and whitespace-only text nodes
(except inside xsl:text) are not included in the tree that the XSL
processor builds from the stylesheet.

Lots of comments could conceivably affect the startup time of your XSL
processor, but once the stylesheet has been read, neither comments in
your stylesheet nor an absence of comments in your stylesheet will
affect the subsequent transformation.
