Well, what I meant is removing the startup time of the JVM. Suppose you run 1000 XML files from the commandline (one "java -jar saxon.jar ..." per file), or you run the same 1000 XML files by calling+processing them with the document() function, you will see a large decrease in total running time.
Compiling the stylesheet and keeping the compiled stylesheet in a pool adds another performance gain when you need that stylesheet more than once.
Of course, these general performance improvements are applicable to just about any processor on any system. But the JVM is notorious for adding lots of extra overhead.

No it won't, not unless you run it a second time!
So it depends.
