Re: Fw: Xalan-J performance w/ compiled stylesheets

["Vasudeva, Rajaram" <RV...@arrakisplanet.com>]

Hi,
	I have a similar (rather same) problem with the command line XSL
processing. From the discussion on this so far I could not understand why
the XML parsing is taking more time if the XSL is already pre-compiled and
to be loaded. Am I correct in thinking that when the style sheet is
pre-compiled, it gets serialized and stored somewhere ( mem?) ??
Can someone explain to me what this really means??

Thanks,
Rajaram.

Here's the sample performance data for you :
