Thanx for you reply. In fact the XML is 22K and XSL is 32K. In the XSL I don't use '//' at all. Though I use a few for-each loops but to decrease searching time thru too many nodes, I usually use keys with extra Boolean tests, eg. <xsl:for-each select="key('groupNm',@GroupName)[ not(preceding::Q[position()=1]/@QuestionCollection) or @QuestionCollection!=preceding::Q[position()=1]/@QuestionCollection and @GroupName!=preceding::Q[position()=1]/@GroupName]">...</xsl:for-each> in fact this was only an experiment trying to restrict the nodes it processes (in an attempt to "optimise" my XSL), I used to have <xsl:for-each select=" key('groupNm',@GroupName)">...</xsl:for-each>
However, my XML has a lot of attributes within each node... maybe that has an impact... here is some of the XML...
<Questions QuoteId="102" Action="quoteValidation.asp" PageName="Quote" XSLstylesheet="questions.xsl" ReadOnlyXSLstylesheet="readonlyquestions.xsl" TodaysDate="24/5/2002" PreQuestionText="<div class='divNote'>some more text goes here." PreQuestionClass="bodycopy" PostQuestionText="" PostQuestionClass="bodycopy" HelpImghelp.gif" HelpButtonToolTip="Help" HelpUrlhelp.asp?id=" CSSfile="style.css" CSSbodyfile="../css/" SessionId="Test">
<Q QuestionSetId="15" Visibility="Show" QuestionSetSequence="2" QuestionID="125" AnswerTag="insured_property_postcode" QuestionText="What is the postcode of the property to be insured?"

<QO OptionId="488" OptionDesc="MAROUBRA" OptionValue="488" /> <QO OptionId="489" OptionDesc="MAROUBRA JUNCTION" OptionValue="489" /> <QO OptionId="490" OptionDesc="MAROUBRA SOUTH" OptionValue="490" /> <QO OptionId="491" OptionDesc="PAGEWOOD" OptionValue="491" /> </Q>
</Questions>
I just read some thing about XSLTemplate and XSLProcessor, not sure whether they will help, ie by caching the XSL etc.

Can anyone please tell me why it takes a while for a transformed XML to load on the IE6 browser? (the browser seems to pause and then displays the HTML) At first I transformed the XML using ASP on the server-side, and then I tried to display the XML with a reference to XSL in the XML file, the pause was still there. 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.
Thanx in advance! :)

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.
