Re: Merging and Quines

[Tom Mullen <Tom dot Mullen at reuters dot com>]

Oliver,

Using Xalan on an 800 node xml file (example node below)  I get the
following timings for versions 1.2 & 1.3 of your merge xslt:

V1.2 1688618 millisecs
V1.3 1639537 millisecs

(both ~30 mins)

Example Node:

<CONFIGUREDITEM name="UniqueId.name">
  <GEN>2</GEN>
  <TIMESTAMP>8-SEP-1999 09:37:54</TIMESTAMP>
  <DESCRIPTION>General description if item</DESCRIPTION>
</CONFIGUREDITEM>

Is it because of the large number of string comparisons?

Incidentally, I used both version 1.2 and 1.3 on the version 1.2 and 1.3
files (they are, after all, XML).  Both took about 2 secs but I could not
load the merged xsl from v1.3 into IE5 (I could for v1.2 produced file).  I
get the error:

Reference to undeclared namespace prefix: 'ns1'. Line 29, Position 31 

<ns1:template match="m:merge">

Thanks

Tom
