[xsl] performace diffence in MSXSL:SCRIPT blocks

["Todd Binder" <todd_binder@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

is there a difference in performance between the following?

1) using CDATA
 <msxsl:script language="VBScript" implements-prefix="user">
<![CDATA[
'---------------------------------------------------------------------
'converts current date to YYYYMMDD format

 function current_date()
  current_date = cstr(date())
 end function

]]>
</msxsl:script>

2) no CDATA
 <msxsl:script language="VBScript" implements-prefix="user">
'---------------------------------------------------------------------
'converts current date to YYYYMMDD format

 function current_date()
  current_date = cstr(date())
 end function
</msxsl:script>


obviously, using the CDATA helps when you are looking at your XSL file from
within IE, but if it is going to cause a performance slowdown, it wouldn't
be worth it.
