It depends. Measure it and see, and tell us what you find.
For example, it depends on what XSLT processor you are using and it depends on
what other template rules are present.

Hi Folks,
Which executes faster:
<xsl:template match="A[@x eq 'a']/B[@y eq 'b']/C">
<xsl:if test="D eq 10">...
or
<xsl:template match="A[@x eq 'a' ]">
<xsl:if test="B[@y eq 'b']/C/D eq 10">...
That is, will my program execute faster if:
- I have templates with highly specific match-patterns and the templates
contain a simple if-statement
or

highly specific if-statement
