Hi,
How expensive format-number() operation?
I need to this for all the rows - should I do this on Java
side when I build XML? or is the cost for this operation negligible?
The only answer to this is, measure it and see.
A couple of years ago I found a stylesheet that ran ten times faster
with one Java VM than another, regardless whether you used Saxon or xt.
It turned out to be a difference in the decimal number formatting
routines used by the format-number() implementation in both products.
