Alternatively you can cause XML::Generator::DBI to use the XML::Handler::BuildDOM as a handler in order to generate a DOM object that can then be fed to XML::XSLT again cutting out the intermediate reparse of the XML.

I am toying with the idea of providing a utility to create modules that encapsulate preparsed DOM objects from XSLT so that step can be taken out as well if anyone is interested
