Profiling XSLT Stylesheets
In addition to debugging tools for XSLT, Stylus Studio provides the XSLT Profiler, a tool that helps you evaluate the efficiency of your XSLT. By default, the performance metrics gathered by the XSLT Profiler are displayed in a preformatted report, like the one shown Figure 239:
The report format is controlled by the default XSLT stylesheet,
profile.xsl, in the
\Stylus Studio\bin directory. You can customize this stylesheet as required. You can save XSLT Profiler reports as HTML.
In addition to generating the standard XSLT Profiler report, you can save the raw data generated by the Profiler and use this data to create your own reports. See Enabling the Profiler for more information about this procedure.

The next time you preview the XSLT results, the performance metrics you selected are available to you in the XSLT Profiler report (and as raw data if you selected that setting and specified a file).
