What is the JAXP factory lookup procedure and does it affect performance?

JAXP uses an ordered lookup procedure to find factory implementations, such as an implementation of javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory. For information on this procedure, refer to Section 3 Plugability in JAXP 1.3. In most cases, Factory classes need only be looked up once for an application, so performance is not an issue. However, there may be scenarios where the lookup procedure executes multiple times which could impact performance. In these cases, users may want to set system properties or populate the jaxp.properties file in order to shorten the time spent in the lookup procedure.
