To be more precise, here are the results I get for the fiendish sudoku
board on my desktop and on my laptop:
Desktop:
===================
AW3: 11125 56MB
DN: 11359 17.5MB
Laptop:
===================
AW3: 9953 56MB
DN: 6484 10MB
Andrew, what is the version of Saxon you're using and what are the
make, speed and RAM of your computer?
I guess that by now Tommie's got uncomfortable about the relevance of
this thread -- let's therefore move it off-list.
I am glad that due to this thread Andrew was able to improve the speed
of his Sudoku implementation 10 times.

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.

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 :)
