[xml] XSLTPROC is slow along with XSLT

["Vikrant Rathore" <vikrant linmark com>]

Hi everyone,

i have written an XSL file an also developed a small application to convert 
XML to XSLT. There has been real performance issue with XSLT. It seems 
when the XML document is 5 MB the xsltproc hangs. The same happens 
with my program. The XSL file is below with the mail. For small file of few 
KB's it works fine. But for large files it hangs.

Thanks
Vikrant
