XSL optimization

[NickMalloy]

I have an XML document I create through a dataset in asp.net when I add a stylesheet too my data it is really slow to display. I am dealing with around 7000 records. Can someone help me with improving this stylesheet.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="vendors/test1">
<p><xsl:value-of select="vendorName"/><xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text><xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text><xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text><xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text><xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text><xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text><xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text>

<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="address"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="href"><![CDATA[javascript:__doPostBack(']]><xsl:value-of select="address"/><![CDATA[','')]]></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="address"/>
</xsl:element>
</p>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

regardless of what is in the xml data island, 7000 records is a lot of information for a browser to display.

<p>
<xsl:value-of select="vendorName"/>
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;
<a href="javascript:__doPostBack('{address}')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="address"/>
</a>
</p>
