As long as you're using SAX, there should be no theoretical
limit to the size of documents that you can process. However,
if your app "leaks" memory or if the JVM is very bad at
reclaiming memory, then you *might* run into problems. But
I don't think you will. DOM, on the other hand, is not a
valid solution for documents of the size that you're talking
about.
