If you care enough, you can interface Saxon to FOP so they communicate via
SAX events rather than serializing and re-parsing. I used to have this as a
packaged option in Saxon, but found it too difficult to maintain with
changing FOP releases. I expect FOP is more stable nowadays; but the
performance gain might still not be worth the hassle.
