Well, I'm not Kevin, but...

I'd try Saxon. I was using Xalan because it was included with the FOP 
distribution, but I changed to Saxon because I wanted a feature of XSL 
2.0. I noticed at the time that I got a substantial speed boost as well. I 
can't time the two processors to tell you the difference, as my 
stylesheets now include XSL 2.0 features that Xalan does not support.

Your mileage may vary, but I suggest that you give Saxon a try.

Re:  Performance degraded with grouping and sorting.






Kev,
Thanks for your reply..If you dont mind can you or
somebody please point to something, where I should be
looking around to increase the performance.
Do you have any ideas how to change the XSLT processor
properties or move to a better performing processor. I
am using Xalan processor currently and you are right I
have a good configuration PC with 1 GB RAM.

regards,
Bhupi.
