RE: [xsl] The benefits of exact selection

2009-11-06 06:46:00

Using Saxon PE from inside Oxygen, I transformed 20 times for each.
Here is the average time as reported by Oxygen:

1) Exact selection: 4.1s
2) Wildcard selection: 5.0s

That is a difference. But it is also fair to say that for 
most transformations, on a small dataset, it will be 
impossible to measure a difference of any importance.


Does your transformation time include document parsing/building time? For a
small task like this, the parsing time will completely swamp the
transformation time. If the parsing time is 4.0s, then your figure shows the
transformation time is different by a factor of 10.
