Ok, sorry about that, here is the category
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Search>
<SearchResults>
<vform>
<item_id>BB55554</item_id><rvsn_id>1</rvsn_id><title_txt><![CDATA[RESOURCE
NEWSLETTER]]></title_txt></vform>
<vform>
<item_id>BB55552</item_id><rvsn_id>7</rvsn_id><title_txt><![CDATA[MAILER]]></title_txt><Category>General
Marketing</Category></vform>
<vform>
<item_id>BB5555CO</item_id><rvsn_id>0</rvsn_id><title_txt><![CDATA[INSTANT
ISSUE PAC]]></title_txt></vform>
<vform>
The output I want is a table with
item_id | title_txt | category // grouped by category
Should I use Keys instead?
Thanks,

The XML provided doesn't have a Category element...
You probably shouldn't be using //vform which translates to
/descendant-or-self::node()/child::vform and causes the entire node
tree to be searched for vform elements from the root to the deepest
leaf. Depending on your context you probably just need vform, or
perhaps /Search/SearchResults/vform.

The XML is of the following format
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Search>
<SearchResults>
<vform>
<item_id>78987ghg98</item_id><rvsn_id>1</rvsn_id><title_txt><![CDATA[MY
NEWSLETTER]]></title_txt></vform>
<vform>
---
---

100s of vform elements
---

</SearchResults>
</Search>
Let me know if you'd like the full XSL code.
Any ideas why it is taking so long (using Xalan) and can this output be
achieved by other means?
I appreciate your help!
