If so, then you are probably I/O bound. I get similar results on Windows XP when chunking a big book, but xsltproc is about 2.5 times faster when I use the non-chunking stylesheet on the same book. That suggests it is the opening, writing, and closing of files that is equalizing the two. On my Linux box with a slower CPU speed, the speed ratio is about 5 times, whether I'm chunking or not. I think in that case the filesystem is staying sufficiently ahead of the processor to show the diffence between the two processing engines. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 Caldera International, Inc. fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@caldera.com
