NSXMLParser needs to load everything into ram first, then it starts generating its stream of events. I recommend filing a bug asking for it to be enhanced to support incrementally available data. It will definitely be a dupe (I've filed it, among others I am sure)., but the more people who ask for it, the more likely it will get engineering resources.
For situations where you have slow connections, high latency, large documents, and/or limited ram being able to work with the file as a stream is definitely a competitive advantage. While I (and a lot of other people, I am certain) have written libxml2 interfaces to achieve that, I would much rather just use NSXMLParser in the future.
