Re: [xsl] Clientside XSLT Transformations Design and Concepts

["Karl Stubsjoen" <kstubs@xxxxxxxxx>]

My concern is performance on the client machine.  Very large HTML
files will cause the browser to perform slugishly and sometimes
become, or appear to be unresponsive.  So the obvious question:
loading a large xml document into memory on the client's machine
(5Megs into a javascript variable) will the browser than behave
similarly to loading a the large HTML document?
