Speaking only for myself, and as a reader of this list for some time,
I might comment that 'large' has meant (mostly) large human targetted
document
instances, often up to a few megabytes, occasionally ten or more, seldom
more.
I might suggest that the processing environment for many users is a desktop
pc, a server, rarely dedicated hardware.
If serving up webpages the options are there, but in terms of loading
a page in a users browser, anything more than a few hundred K is a bit
of a waste of time, since users get teed off and go elsewhere.
That may be a cause of the lack of response, I don't know.
Sorry we weren't more enthusiastic.
regards DaveP
I have to say I was a little disappointed/puzzled by the
lack of responses. I am not sure why this was but I can
only assume there is either little interest in transforms
over the few 100MB size or little interest in discussing
the problems this presents.
It is not often I get the chance to discuss stuff we are
doing on the processor for obvious commercial reasons. I
thought this subject might be suitable for a wider audience
as anecdotal evidence suggests that large XML file usage is
growing and and along with that comes some expectation that
tools can cope.
Regards,
Kev
