  not having the slightliest idea of what his data looks like nor
for the stylesheet, it's completely impossible to give any informations
about performance results. So it's generic information about XSLT
performances, and yes it heavilly depends BOTH on the stylesheet AND
on the data processed (and the software used to do the XSLT transformation).
The exact same question uneditaed could have been posted on any other
XSLT related mailing-list there is nothing specific to libxslt in the
question and nothing allowing to make a more precise answer.

  That's your point of view, not mine. I simply don't have time to
debug code from people using the libraries. I state that very clearly,
don't send me code unless it's obvious I won't spend time examining it
because I simply can't. The only thing I immediately noticed in your code
is that it's a memory leak generator, you never seem to free the
structures used, even when they are only referenced as local variable
and not passed on exit of the function. Again I don't have time to debug
other's people code, I think I do already quite enough for the community
and I need to sleep sometimes. So take your rant back, use a debugger and
stop whining.
