Dec 22, 2014 at 14:33 comment added ᴠɪɴᴄᴇɴᴛ The --exc-c14n option specifies sorting of the attributes. In your specific files the attributes probably were already sorted, but the general advice would be to use the combination --format --exc-c14n.
Dec 21, 2014 at 6:49 comment added GuruM It's been quite some time since I wrote the answer, but I faintly remember using the --exc-c14n flag. However, diff-ing the output with/without the flag showed no differences so just stopped using it. Dropping unnecessary/unused flags might make the process faster.
Nov 27, 2014 at 14:05 comment added ᴠɪɴᴄᴇɴᴛ This was the option I needed. Supposedly the most canonical version can be obtained by combining --format with --exc-c14n; will probably be still slower to process :(
