Hi,

here is example script:

<?php
     $doc = new DOMDocument();
     $xsl = new XSLTProcessor();
     
     $doc->load('transformation.xsl',LIBXML_NOCDATA);
     $xsl->importStyleSheet($doc);
     
     $doc->load('test.xml');
     $doc = $xsl->transformToXML($doc);
     
     if(file_exists('export.xls')) unlink('export.xls');
     
     $fp = fopen('export.xls','w');
     fwrite($fp,$doc);
     fclose($fp);

?>
Here is test.xml:

<document>
<row>
<balance1>2000</balance1>
<balance2>3000</balance2>
<balance3>4000</balance3>
<balance4>5000</balance4>
</row>
</document>

There is only one row element but just multiply that for example 20000
times.

Here is transformation.xsl:

<?xml  version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
                <xsl:template match="/">
                <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">

So, when we try this with, for example, 100 row elements everything is ok, but then with 1000 row elements is much slower and with 20000 never finish (maybe it finish but we stop it after 30 minutes).
Old version finish 20000 row elements within 5 seconds.

Sorry for length og message, I don't know how to post you shorter example.

Zoran
