Do you have a performance problem?
If so, I doubt very much that removing comment nodes will help you solve it.
It might give you a 3% improvement, but if you have a problem, I doubt that
3% will make any difference.
And if you don't have a performance problem, why are you bothering?

Subject: [xsl] Comment nodes in XSLT files.
Traditionally comments in Interpreted language files slows
things down. It
there any practical experience with the impact of comment
nodes in the XSLT
files, or best practice guidance?
I would like to find the balance point between too much and
too little.
We have also considered an XSLT comment scrubber between the
saved source
and the published source. It would be easy to build, but if
the runtime
impact of leaving the comments in place is sufficiently small
why introduce
all the other headaches?
I think the answer varies from one XSLT processor to another.
My particular
interest is in .NET ( don't flame me please) but I have an
interest in other
processors as well.
