I noticed this morning that Dan had added an alternative implementation to an article in the XQuery Wikibook on matching words against a list. It got me wondering which implementation was preferable. I wrote a few tests and was surprised at the result. My initial implementation based on element comparisons was five times slower than comparing with a sequence of atoms, and Dan's suggestion of using a qualified expression was worse still.
Here is the test run and the Wikibook article.
