[Xsltforms-support] conflict between subforms and the profiler?

[C. M. Sperberg-M. <cm...@bl...>]

I've encountered an unexpected behavior in 1.0RC.  I first encountered
it in one of my own forms, but the simplest way to recreate it may be:

(1) Load the writers.xml example from the 1.0RC distribution, or from

    http://www.agencexml.com/xsltforms/writers.xml

(2) Click Show Books and Hide Books a few times.

(3) Click Profiler.

This ought in normal operation to produce a profile showing the profiler
information we have all come to love.  What it produces instead, at the 
moment, is a Javascript error message saying 

  XSLTForms Exception
  --------------------------

  Error dispatching event 'xforms-model-construct' :

  xforms-link-exception

This makes it hard to put hard numbers on the results of using subforms,
but as far as I can tell, moving from Beta3 to 1.0RC has reduced load time
for some documents I am working with by 25 to 30%, and reduced time
for processing some parts of the documents by 15 or 20%, and changing
to subforms reduces the load time by another 25%.  So the new version
of the form I'll be able to make available to my users is about twice as 
fast, on long documents, as the current version.

Well done, Alain!!
