Re: [docbook-apps] gentext.template eats 1/3 of CPU

[Sam Fischmann <sam.fischmann@gmail.com>]

I am using Saxon, and on my nightly build (which normally takes a good
355 minutes on an old pentium 4), I saw an 8% improvement in the
overall time using the patch you provided yesterday.

This percentage is far less than the actual improvement in stylesheet
processing time, because my system includes CHM compilation and fo to
PDF conversion in the total time.
