Not so much a problem, but seemingly running a little slow. 
I have to admit that I am applying some significant customizations to the html 
templates (tabular-toc) and chunking a 2.8Mb file.

using xsltproc --profile  I got

The point of which was that apply-annotations seems to be chewing up 
about 75% of processing time and if there was any way to make it more 
efficient, or a parameter to switch off the inessential bits somehow???


But otherwise, there were no problems, thanking you.
