Question about the nature of the compilation...

Our stylesheets, in order to improve modular code reuse, are often an
amalgam of xsl:include's and entity reference Substitution (eg: <!DOCTYPE
xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY header SYSTEM "/cont/xsl/mvHeader.xsl">
<!ENTITY script SYSTEM "/cont/xsl/Script.xsl">
<!ENTITY leftnav SYSTEM "myviewleftnav.xsl">
<!ENTITY right SYSTEM "myviewrightnav2.xsl">
<!ENTITY foot SYSTEM "/cont/xsl/footer.xsl">
]>

)
 
How does the compiler handle this? does it also compile the references? or
am I only taking advantage of the preformance increase for what is
essentially a skeletal include sheet that has very little processing of its
own?
