I would like to add that i am using the following in my C# code to do the 
Transform

XslCompiledTransform xslTransform = new XslCompiledTransform();
            xslTransform.Load(xSLTFileName);
            xslTransform.Transform(d, null, result);

Its taking a few seconds to Transform.The sample given is much smaller than 
the real ones.

Thanks
