Re: [docbook-apps] xhtml/docbook.xsl performance

[David Link <dlink@flatworldknowledge.com>]

Thanks for this information.  We are still 1.75.2.

How much performance improvement is there?

What concerns should we have for upgrading to 1.7.6?

Thank you very much,

What version of the stylesheets are you using?

Maybe the following can help. The performance of the gentext/localization
machinery was improved recently. The improvements are available in
DocBook-XSL from version 1.76.

Here is a thread where this was discussed:
