Saxon (http://saxon.sourceforge.net) can be up to 3 times faster than Xalan, 
depending on your stylesheet, and is very stable.

XSLT processes an entire document. So the only way to apply a stylesheet to 
only a part of a document is to detach that part and make it a standalone 
document. You can then apply the stylesheet to this "small" document and 
attach the result back to the original document.

Hope this helps,
