Just to get this discussion back on track, where would you apply threading
in libxslt? An answer to that, as well as an implementation, may not be as
trivial as you seem to think. Also, it would at least require some kind of
scheduling mechanism in order to distribute jobs (such as matching nodes or
called templates) over the threads.

One of the obvious approaches would be a map-reduce pattern. That would fit
very well with the functional and hierarchical nature of XSLT and XML in
general.

I've attached a perl script with core logic before, you must have missed it. Here, script is on the dropbox as well now.

If I understand the nature of XSLT processing it is, on the core logic level, traversing over the source three. Nodes may be traversed intependently, thanks to XSLT static semi-vatiables. So you (in the pure spheric computer) just "fork" a new thread on each child, and parent only waits it's return. In fact you are not forking, but giving work to threads, but it does not change much.
