True. I believe that would be the simple way. Add 'time' blocks and
measure. But, I was interested in more XSL centric measurements if any,
since XSL does not process XSL code in a top to bottom way like normal
code. 

In essence, this will only allow me to measure "total" end to end time
and will not allow me to get other metrics that might be smaller than
the "complete" time.

Of course, I will look into the things suggested by everyone here.

No, never used nxslt - I see it is a command line utility using .NET
XslTransform class - interesting!

Of course, N/A means that it's not available or just not implemented.
Anyway, you could contact XSelerator support about that. 

Another option would be to just get the current system time instance
when
you start a transformation, and measure time afterwards, in your
application.

What's your take on it?

Pieter,

Do you have nxslt running in Xselerator?  If so, have you been able to
get
the performance information using it?  I have been unable to so far.  I
always get N/A.

Thanks.

Hi Abhishek,

You could start searching the archives using the word 'performance'. 

Also check http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect4/N9883.html.

transformations?

Utilities like XSelerator show you the time needed to do when doing XML
parse, XSL parse, and XSL Transformation time. Very useful. I used
various
techniques to process XML and compared those times using MSXML 4.0 (you
can
use other processors by simply adding them to the Environmental
options).

I have been doing some performance testing, but only on two processors
sofar
(MSXML 4.0 and .NET's XslTransform). Don't know which you're using?

Cheers,
