Unlikely. My understanding is that xsltproc is the fastest XSLT
processor in existence, with the possible exception of MSXML.

Most popular XSLT processors are written in Java, Python, or Perl:
Saxon, Xalan, 4XSLT ... xsltproc is faster than them by a wide and
probably permanent margin.

I guess Sablotron is pretty fast, but I have heard it has standards-
compliance issues. Haven't really used it myself, so that's all
second-hand information.
