Saxon

Profiling

Saxon provides a profile through a two part process:

1. Run Saxon with the -TP switch, writing the error output to a file

   java -jar saxon9.jar -TJ xslspec.xml fo-context-dump.xsl  dump-info=dump-info.xml 2> profile.xml
   

2. Run the timing-profile.xsl stylesheet from the saxon-resources.zip file (available from  http://www.saxonica.com/) to create a HTML report:

   java -jar saxon9.jar profile.xml timing-profile.xsl  > profile.html
   

Figure 1 shows a screenshot of the report generated from running the same stylesheet as in the xsltproc example. Notice the first two “hotspots” are the same as for xsltproc, but after that the result start to diverge.
