I am ok with it based on a once-over and the fact you are passing all of the tests

I tested through all of the Xalan updates and found XalanJ-2271 to be the culprit. It [1] was intended to improve performance in webserver environment while resolving unescaped chars in attributes. Unfortunately, it actually resulted in a 5% drop in specjvm2008. I tried to improve the patch, by for example not making mutable copies of the CharInfo objects and etc., but none could get all of the performance loss back.

Since it was a proactive update, meaning no one requested it, instead of spending too much time on this issue, I decided to roll the entire patch back. Below is the webrev [2]. [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2271 [2] http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~joehw/7u6/cr7151118/webrev/ All unit/sqe/tck tests passed. Please review. Thanks, Joe
