That may have caused compatibility problems, but I'm not sure why you are
suggesting that it caused performance problems.

I dont suggest its slow, but by using XSLTC they consume more memory,
and that leads to support calls.

task fails under JDK 1.5

But of course anyone looking for performance will be running Saxon anyway -
I tested a customer stylesheet today and Saxon was a factor of 5 faster and
took one third of the memory.

nice.
