Subject: slow xsltproc XInclude processing w/complex document? From: Paul DuBois <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 6 Jul 2004 14:58:42 -0500 |
I've been running some tests on a document that includes nested Xinclude directives. The document is complex: upwards of 1500 files, nested to a depth of up to 4 levels. Total size of content is about 4.8MB.
For simple testing, I'm attempting only to produce a "flattened" document that just resolves the XIincludes. Stylesheet looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> <xsl:preserve-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="xi:include" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> <xsl:for-each select="document(@href)"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/ | node() | @* | comment() | processing-instruction()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>
This takes about 12 minutes on my 900 MHz G3 iBook (Mac OS X), and about 4 minutes on my 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 Gentoo Linux box.
That seems pretty slow, particular given that the control condition takes mere seconds (running the flattenedly document through a standard identity transform with xsltproc).
I don't want to post the input here because it's so big, so this is really just a preliminary post to ask for advice as to how I might go about improving the XInclude-d transform: Is this a known issue with xsltproc/XInclude? Or is there perhaps some flag I should be using that I am failing to use? Something bad about my stylesheet?
