The subtree processing model of XSLT seems to make it a good
application for parallel processing (i.e. using multiple CPUs to
process different subtrees simultaneously). Since many people have
remarked on the inherent slowness of XSLT processors, I wonder if
anyone has succeeded in creating an XSLT processor that successfully
divides the work among different processors, resulting in a gain of
processing speed. Has anyone tried this? Some of the implementations
are written in Java, such as XT. Do they use multi-threading and can
they take advantage of multiple CPUs?
