Re: Calabash slow from command line

I am using the p:directory-list
  <p:directory-list path="../SampleReports/test1/"/>
    <p:filter select="//c:file[contains(@name,'.xml') and position() &lt;10 ]"/>
    <p:for-each name="iterate">

I eliminated my XProc and am still confused about the difference between saxon’s time to respond and calabash time to respond.

It also outputs interim results. My first quick read of piperack sounds like I would have to move the looping outside of XProc and maybe split the piple into several so that the interim results could be returned from a standalone pipeline.
