Re: which is faster?

without a sample input we can't run the thing so you'll have to be more
explicit in your description.

This line of code is messing the whole thing up. 

generates error message?
generates wrong output?
Causes your machine to reboot?

otherwise when I try to load data from 
it, and it doesn't exist, the whole stylesheet ceeses to work.

using document() on a document that doesn't exist is a recoverable error
in XSLT (unfortunately). The system can either generate an error (and
stop) or return an empty node set in which case your xsl:if will test
false and work as you expect. So you'll need to check your system#s
documentation to see what it does in this case.

Some systems (eg saxon) it's a user configurable option what the system
does on recoverable errors.

There is no portable way in XSLT to test for the existence of a file.
