It is, but only by 10% or so.

Saxon 6.5 was twice as slow for me.

After some more digging, I think it's not the XSLT implementation, it's
the stylesheet implementation.  If I turn off index generation, preface,
section, chapter, appendix, and footnote numbering, as well as the
legalnotice link, I get performance comparable to DSSSL.  Apparently,
the numbers are recomputed for every chunk.  It would probably be better
if they were computed just once and cached, not unlike what chunkfast
does for the chunks themselves.  I might take a stab at implementing
something like that.
