[XML-SIG] Great Reason for 4Suite Release delay

Great work, people! Congratulations.  Thanks.

"Uche Ogbuji" amazed us by saying -

> We were expecting to have 4XSLT 0.9.2, etc. out late last week, but as
> always, our hacking instincts got in the way of the "release early,
> release often" philosophy.  We started optimizing and couldn't stop.
> 
> As of now, on several of our benchmark documents, 4XSLT is now 100 times
> faster than release 0.9.1.  Yes, I meant 100.  One 200K document that
> used to take 5 minutes to render now takes 3 seconds.  Not all documents
> show such dramatic improvement but the smallest speedup we've seen for
> any somewhat normal stylesheets and documents is well over ten-fold.
> 
> We're not even yet done with the optimizations, but it's not
> inconceivable that 4XSLT is as fast as any of the Java processors.  It's
> typically within 10% of saxon.
> 
> At any rate, we hope to soon get on with the packaging so our users can
> get the benefits.
