First of all, we have recently improved logging output for the
client/server architecture with BaseX 8.6.1. Maybe you get some more
helpful output with the latest snapshot [1]?
To decrease memory consumption, you can specify an output stream in
your client (via setOutputStream). Do you really want to return the
full XML document and process it in main memory? Returning 80 MB of
data should not cause serious problems, though, even with 1GB of RAM.
Did you manage to successfully parse this resource in the BaseX GUI
(or is the document already stored in a database)?

For non-admin users, you can set a global server timeout via the
TIMEOUT option [2]. If I remember correctly, the timeout will not be
checked while a resource is parsed, it could be that it does not
necessarily stop your query in time.
Cheers,
Christian
