In my test I followed the xsl:variable instruction by an immediate
xsl:message with a reference to the variable to ensure it was evaluated
right then.


...and that this xsl:message's duration is added to $end-$start. (Yes, you
can try to cook this, too.)

If this is working, then it's only by chance.

Order of evaluation is undefined in XSLT, and there is no guarantee that
$start is evaluated before the apply-templates call is evaluated.

I think this only works in Saxon because the optimizer treats calls on
extension functions as suspicious, and tries to avoid over-optimizing
them because of potential side-effects.

Hi Folks,

So, you've got an XSLT program that is taking a long time to execute.
You want to find out what part of the program is taking so much time.
You need to insert some start/stop timers into your XSLT. Here's how to
do it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
               xmlns:date="java:java.util.Date"
               version="2.0">

   <xsl:output method="text" />
   <xsl:output name="text-format" method="text"/>

   <xsl:template match="/">
       <!-- Start a timer -->
       <xsl:variable name="start" select="date:getTime(date:new())" />

       <!-- Do your XSLT processing -->
       <xsl:apply-templates />

       <!-- End the timer -->
       <xsl:variable name="end" select="date:getTime(date:new())" />

       <!-- Log the benchmarking results to a file, time-info.txt -->
       <xsl:result-document href="time-info.txt" format="text-format">
           start: <xsl:value-of select="$start" />
           end: <xsl:value-of select="$end" />
           diff: <xsl:value-of select="$end - $start" />
       </xsl:result-document>

   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="*">
       <!-- Do something -->
       <xsl:text>Hello World </xsl:text>
       <xsl:value-of select="current-dateTime()" />
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
