RE: Performance

I just have noticed 

This way of writing the code is much faster

count(*[starts-with(name(),'DGBUIMSNNumber')][(_at_)action='add'])

than this way:

count(*[starts-with(name(),'DGBUIMSNNumber') and @action='add'])


Why is that?

Performance depends on which XSLT processor you are using. There's nothing
intrinsic about these two expressions that makes one faster than the other,
it's just a quirk of the particular implementation you ares using (or
perhaps of your measurement methodology...).
