Re: [docbook-apps] Compile xsl with xalan
Do you have to do Java? In my experience  XSLTproc is consistently faster in converting a large XML file (150kb or larger) than a Java processor is (even with compiled style sheets) for all 3 of my use cases, single HTML file, HTML chunks and FO.  It is available for Linux, Mac and Windows.

If Java is a hard requirement then I would test the different Java XSLT processors and see which one works faster. I tend to favor Saxon 6 for docbook work (the stylesheets are XSLT 1, Saxon 8 and 9 are XSLT 2 processors)

Same here. I don't know what the speedups of XSLTC tend to be, but if

they're significant, that would be an interesting GSoC project

(although maybe not for the DocBook project).
