Of course, nobody in is right mind will invoke the following command
to transform XSL documents in a production environment.
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN rhug.rml -XSL rhug-info.xsl -OUT index.html -DIAG
What would be interresting is to "daemonize" the process, and see
how long it takes to transform a single document with a *running* VM.
And also, of course, since you used the latest GCJ, would you care
to do the same test with the latest JRE, which is 1.3.1_01 if I'm not
mistaken?
