Hi all.
I want to ask if anyone has tested how conversion speed is related to the xslt proccessors used. Have you ever tried? Do you know which one is faster? How big is the difference? I'm trying and it makes no difference, but in docs I read it matters so maybe I misunderstood how to use it.
Thanks.

NOTE: it matters for me if speed would change on big files (0.5 to 1.5 xhtml files)

Hi,

I always use Saxon. I think it makes less of a difference now, because the default XSLT-processor is XSLTC, which precompiles stylesheets before running them.

Best regards,

Werner.
