I think that memory is probably a more critical measure than speed. For
a few sites, it's the number-of-small-transforms-per-second that's
critical, but most of the problems I get to see nowadays are large
document transformations, and they tend to be memory limited.

Another memory related issue: It would be a great thing if the processors could
separate out and cache just once xsl:includes/imports and some link them into a
Templates object.

Let's say I have 100 sites on a machine, each has there own look and feel by
having unique primary/entry XSLTs (say about 10 per site). Each of these
primaries includes a universally common set of XSLs.

With the way the processors currently handle things there will be 1000 large
Templates objects. But if I could cache the big, common include and stick that
in each tiny Templates object I would reduce memory usage.

I know I asked about this a year or so ago and it was not possible then (Saxon
and Xalan). Is this possible today?
