Hm.  I wonder what the cause is.  I'm assuming it has something to do w=
ith
elements at the root level that are not XML nodes, such as comments, PI=
's,
etc.  The <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"*"/> will only try to process =
nodes,
I think.

Betreff: [C1.8.2] Performance of <xsl:apply-templates/> at root level


All,

I'm just wondering if anyone else has encountered this, and if there is=
 a
simple explanation.  If I include a simple template to copy stuff, such=
 as
is found in most logicsheets:
<xsl:template match=3D"@*|node()" priority=3D"-1">
 <xsl:copy>
  <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"@*|node()"/>
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

and then have something like the following:
<xsl:template match=3D"/">
  ...
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

I get terrible performance (it takes minutes to return).  If instead, I=
 do:
<xsl:template match=3D"/">
  ...
  <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"*"/>
</xsl:template>

then performance is fine (subsecond).

This only seems to happen for root template matches, and the only
difference
is using 'select=3D"*"' in the apply-templates.

Is this a Xalan issue?  I tried to search the Xalan mailing list archiv=
es,
but there doesn't appear to be a working link to them.
