The upstream XSLT stylesheets use some very general XPath expressions in some places that end up being very slow. We can optimize them with knowledge about the DocBook document structure and our particular use thereof. For example, when counting preceding chapters to get a number for the current chapter, we only need to count preceding sibling nodes (more or less) instead of searching through the entire node tree for chapter elements. This change attacks the slowest pieces as identified by xsltproc --profile. This makes the HTML build roughly 10 times faster, resulting in the new total build time being about the same as the old DSSSL-based build. Some of the non-HTML build targets (especially FO) will also benefit a bit, but they have not been specifically analyzed. With this, also remove the pg.fast parameter, which was previously a hack to get the build to a manageable speed. Alexander Lakhin <a.lakhin@postgrespro.ru>, with some additional tweaking by me
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
