performance part 1. using xlstproc (xmlsoft.org)
stylesheet approx 50k
xml in approximate doublings in size from 24k to 3.25M (7 test files)
the processing time goes up by a factor approx 4 for every doubling in
size - looks o(n2) to me.
now comes the hard work, because i didn't write the algorithms.....
