Re: "The reason why it's slow is the use of XML and XSL to display the data." One might ask: Why ? Why did Microsoft embrace these "heavyweight" technologies and not create their own "lightweight" counterparts ? When you discover that CAML is quite elegant, the answer is probably: "They FINALLY Got it !" I think Microsoft from 2004 -> 2008 was in quite a "funk". No question they are now moving out of that state with Office 2010 and Sharepoint 2010 and Web Expression 3. All great products.
