I've found MSXML3 in IE to beat Cocoon/Java every time in ad hoc testing. Of course, you have to be specific about in what cases it's faster. Large or small documents? Large or small stylesheets? Server load considerations? etc. etc. I look forward to checking it out.

Hi Tony, I had planned to post it last weekend but then I decided I create a constantly running saxon-based XSLT "server" to handle requests from XAE for applying stylesheets to documents, e.g., for converting an xml document to html for display in your system's browser. The nice thing about the server is that it eliminates the Java vm/saxon startup time (except the first time). Also, saxon "compiles" a stylesheet before applying it to a document. The XAE's saxon server caches compiled stylesheets, thus avoiding the need to recompile them every time you apply them to a document. Currently, if you run saxon from the command line, the time to transform a document has three components: startup vm + compile stylesheet + apply stylesheet The saxon server eliminates the first two components. With the saxon server, the time to transform a document after the first application of a stylesheet is: 0 + 0 + apply stylesheet The server cuts the time to transform a document in half or even more, depending on the size of the doc. The result is a significant speed up in converting XML documents to HTML for display in a browser. XAE/saxon/Internet Explorer is significantly faster than Internet Explorer with the latest msxml installed. I have finished writing the server and am almost finished interfacing Emacs to it. Then I will write the quick start documentation and releae XAE 1.0. Estimated release date is this coming weekend, perhaps sooner. I will post an announcement to the relevant lists when the release is ready for download from Sunsite Denmark. - Paul XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
