XSLT ?

[Andrew Neiderer]

Thanks for the reply !

He is probably RIGHT.

Any thoughts on this as a possibility ?

Let my Java program, which I will edit to make as fast as possible,
generate the SVG (a 2D XML application) and use XSLT to update ?
Maybe this reduce the 10 second delay.

I don't know XSLT but will learn if this is a possibility.

The problem is that it takes about 10 seconds to display the frame. I
need to approach real-time display if possible. So I thought a binary
representation of the data would speed it up.

Do you really think that the XML representation of your data is responsible
for the slow display ? I would rather guess that your Java implementation
of the display is to be blamed.

I bet that the bottleneck in your application is SVG, its interpretation and
the rest of the display process.

I am not sure if I understood your processing pipeline
correctly. Anyway, the idea to let an XSLT modify an
XML file in real-time (frame to frame) will lead you
into a dead end. XSL processors are simply too slow
for this. It's a waste of CPU power.

If you have to display things in real-time,
you should try to get rid of XML data.
