[xsl] Performance differences between xsl:for-each and xsl:template matches

["Edward Porter edward.porter@xxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I inherited an older stylesheet that makes extensive use of <xsl:for-each>
matching elements (e.g., select="//chapter[@eid]") in the root template to
then call templates. Using Saxon, would there be any performance improvements
if I refactored to use match templates and <xsl:apply-templates> as would
generally be the best practice in this case?
