Even though the loading took something like 4 seconds which may not sound very slow, but I was just wondering whether this time can be shortened and how to do that.

Hello Rosa,

without any code we can only guess. Normally MSXML is really fast, so 
there shouldn't be no 4s-pause. So there remain two questions: How big 
are the files (XML + XSLT)? And how optimized is the transformation? 
Maybe you can post parts of the code. The first suggestion of optimizing 
is always: replace '//' with more explicit XPath-expressions. Maybe it's 
an approach for optimization in your stylesheet too.
