From my observation with Saxon 6.5 I get the stylesheet
execution time reported as at least 120 milliseconds even for
the simplest transformations.
That's presumably if you run it from the command line, which includes
the Java warm-up costs. As a simple demonstration, try the undocumented
-3 option on the command line, which runs the same transformation three
times.
I actually get rather faster times than this on my machine; it all
depends on how long Java takes to load.
I tried it and it's amazing: the first execution (of a transformation that
produces a 39 pages paper) took 611 msec. The second: 280 msec, the third:
201 msec.
Thank you for explaining this.
