Is the -repeat option on XSLT transformation alone supposed to output detailed timings?
Added by Martin Honnen over 1 year ago
While testing some performance with -repeat
on doing XSLT transformation from the Saxon command line tool I was kind of surprised that it outputs lots of detailed timing information (shown below in an example for Saxon HE 12.2J) although I didn't provide the -t
option.
Is that the expected the behaviour? I am not sure I just didn't notice it because it is output before the repeated transformation results or whether that is something that has changed.

Previously I mainly noticed the output of the average execution timing e.g. "*** Average execution time over last 4 runs: 2.328275ms".

This instrumentation of compile-time behaviour should probably be controlled by a separate switch. It's been useful for a number of performance investigations, so it's there for a purpose.
