Hi Andrew,
Hi Demitre,
I ran the fiendish board with both stylesheets and have different
results to you!
It's no surprise. My implementation runs almost twice as fast on my
2.13GHz Pentium M laptop than it does on my 3GHz Pentium IV desktop --
I guess this is due to the larger cache of the laptop.
What I noticed, though, was that your implementation did not gain any
speed from the desktop to the laptop -- something I can't explain.
I am also running Saxon (8.7) with the -3 option.
Are you using Saxon 8.7 or an earlier version?
To summarize, the results, unfortunately, vary greatly depending on
the computer they are run.
On my laptop my implementation has been faster in 5 out of 6 cases.
Anyway, the purpose of this thread is for any sudoku xslt
implementation to improve, which I already see is the case.

Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev

A writer is a person for whom writing is more difficult than it is for
other people.
I have:
AW1 AW2 DN
52.5 10.7 15.75
50.5 10.3 15.81
49.5 10.5 15.9
The tests were run using SaxonB 8.7 from the command line with the -3
option to run the transform 3 times.
One difference to note is that my stylesheet is a "standalone"
stylesheet which needs the -it switch, whereas yours is the more
traditional one which uses an input XML. I doubt this is that
significant but Saxon does produce different output for the two types
when using the -t switch (no memory info for standalone).
Either way, when using the "fiendish" board you've provided, I place
mine at just over 50% faster than yours at the moment :)
