I tested through all of the Xalan updates and found XalanJ-2271 to be 
the culprit.  It [1] was intended to improve performance in webserver 
environment while resolving unescaped chars in attributes. 
Unfortunately, it actually resulted in a 5% drop in specjvm2008.  I 
tried to improve the patch, by for example not making mutable copies of 
the CharInfo objects and etc.,  but none could get all of the 
performance loss back.

Since it was a proactive update, meaning no one requested it, instead of 
spending too much time on this issue, I decided to roll the entire patch 
back. Below is the webrev [2].

[1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2271
[2] http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~joehw/7u6/cr7151118/webrev/

All unit/sqe/tck tests passed.

Please review.

Thanks,
Joe
