I've never used Saxon myself.  I've read that libxslt is one of (or the) 
fastest XSLT 1.0 processor around.  Maybe this is one of the reasons?

I haven't dug into the libxslt distribution yet.  I was thinking of a diff 
against whatever test suite is there.  I hadn't planned on proposing any

submit diffs.
