Description

I'm getting performance warnings when running lints against eo-runtime:

[WARNING] XSL transformation 'incorrect-test-object-name' took 119ms, whereas threshold is 100ms
[WARNING] XSL transformation 'incorrect-test-object-name' took 107ms, whereas threshold is 100ms

What happens: For each test object (@name starting with +) the transformation calls eo:escape-plus(@name) (a user-defined function that manipulates the name string) and then matches(..., $regexp) where $regexp is a constant defined inside the for-each. On XMIR files with many test objects the per-element function-call overhead adds up.

What should happen: The transformation completes within the 100ms threshold. Moving $regexp to a top-level variable so Saxon can cache the compiled pattern, and avoiding the user-defined function call where a simple string operation suffices, would help.
