Hello,
My understanding is that most of the XSLT Engines are using internal DOM
representation of your XML data, thus taking a lot of time compared to a SAX
representation. So the bigger the XML file, the bigger the DOM, and the
longer it takes to be built. Once the DOM is built I think that the regular
XSLT Engines are quite efficient doing their jobs.
The solution would be to use a SAX XSLT Engine (if your XSL is simple enough
this should work), but I don't know of any engine having such a mode.

Subject: [xsl] How to speed up parsing ??
Hi,
I would like to know how can i speed up parsing xml file.
I am having huge xml file (approx 30-50 MB). I have written xsl to get
text
out it. I am getting it properly but it is taking lotta time.
I have used "apply templates " frequently to go to the respective node. As
per
my knowledge "for-each" and "apply-templates" does the same thing and i
assume
internally they must be working alike. WILL THERE BE SPEED ENHANCEMENT IF
I
USE FOR-EACH INSTEAD OF USING APPLY_TEMPLATES.
Or if you do programatically the same thing will i be achieving speed
enhancement ??
My current xsl is drastically slow. Pls give me some hints and suggestion
to
enhance performance of my xsl processing.
Eagerly waiting for reply.
Regards,
Dipesh
