When comparing the performance of a high-level language (XSLT) to a
lower-level language (Javascript), the first rule is that the ratio depends
more than anything else on the skill of the programmer writing in the
lower-level language. Unless you factor that as a variable into your
comparison, the results are fairly meaningless.

Subject: [xsl] XSLT vs javascript performance
I'm wondering if anyone has any information on performance of
xslt transformation speed in the browser vs letting
javascript work on the DOM from data fetched from the web.
For example, if the browser already has the xslt file or
javascript code and some xml data is fetched from a remote
server over the internet due to the user clicking on a link.
Which could finish processing that data faster?
After some Googling, I've only found one article that claims
xslt would be "many times faster" but without any reason for
saying that. Browsers, recently, have sped up performance of
their javascript engines quite a bit. Particularly Firefox,
Webkit and, now, Opera.
