Re: "The reason why it's slow is the use of XML and XSL to display the

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.

However, this may explain that period of malaise:
