Hi Jeff, You wrote: "I guess I was under the impression that SAX based xsl transformers didn't use much memory regardless file size, but perhaps that's not true?"
It's true. However, when you do a XSLT transformation the entire XML document needs to be available to the XSLT processor, because you can access any node in the document, e.g. "/very/large/path/to/some/dark/corner/of/the/XML/node". I'm not sure about your use-case so I don't know if it will help, but you could try using the MultiFragmentTraxTransformer from the cocooncomponents project on Google code. It reduces memory consumption drastically by allowing you to specify a fragment in the XML that you want transformed. If you have a very large document that looks like this: <root> <item/> <item/> .... <item/> </root> and all you want to do is transform the <item/> elements then the MultiFragmentTraxTransformer is your friend.
