GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 119340
Poor performance of exlt:document for large document
Last modified: 2006-07-03 19:14:23 UTC
As discussed in http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200308/msg00054.html If you need a large test-doc, I can send you a flattened copy of our doc. with all text obfuscated with an xsl:translate() function.
When doing benchmark comparisons between xsltproc and Saxon I always used the out-of-the-box DocBook stylesheets without any parameters or other customizations. I'm pretty sure the last version of the DocBook stylesheets I tested with was 1.56.1.
Well, first thing I can tell is that using version 1.40 instead of 1.56.1 the processing of a medium document goes from 5 seconds to 3 seconds. Recent versions seems to have introduced far more expensive processing. Daniel
A different bug (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119340) was submitted concerning slow output on Windows, and that problem has now been fixed in the current CVS. Could you please check whether that change fixes this problem as well? Thanks.
Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information William asked for. Thanks!
