I'm currently working on transforming small xml files, but at a high
frequency - (up to thousands per hour). Any suggestions as to what method
would be best for this scenario?

 Yes, in general XSLT makes things easy that are more difficult in DOM or
 SAX
 (or at least take more code), but at a performance cost.  SAX is great,
 though, if you are concerned about performance in handling large
 documents.
 For what it matters, I tend to use XSLT when I know that the XML involved
 will be small because it makes things so easy, DOM when I need persistent
 structures (and have some sense for the size of the files involved), and
 SAX
 when I'm running through files that may be large, like XML-ized versions
 of
 data from large databases.  If you are looking for functionality you can't
 find in XSLT, you have the option of extending it.
