The only answer to this is, measure it and see.

A couple of years ago I found a stylesheet that ran ten times faster
with one Java VM than another, regardless whether you used Saxon or xt.
It turned out to be a difference in the decimal number formatting
routines used by the format-number() implementation in both products.
