ostrstram vs. message callback function

[mv...@amadeus.net]

Hello Dave,

I would like to ask a question. You wrote:

"...By the way, transforming to an ostrstream can be extremely 
inefficient.  I suggest you take a look at the callback interfaces in 
XalanTransformer, which will allow you to get the results of the 
transformation directly, rather than writing it to a dynamically allocated 
string.  The performance improvement will be considerable."

I did a simple test on HP-UX 11. I performed 100 transformations using 
XalanTransformer.transform(), where the output was either ostrstream or a 
callback function. The difference was less than 5%. Is your experience 
different from mine?

Best regards, Miro.
