RE: [xsl] Transforming large XML docs in small amounts of memory

2007-05-02 01:53:57
I think that transforming 150Mb of data in 400Mb of RAM would be a 
sensible target (is this sensible?)

That's ambitious. To achieve that, you're going to have to do 
something that condenses the input document before transformation.

What would you say was a reasonable target? I expect it will 
be dependent on many factors.

I reckon a factor of 5x is usually achievable - so 750Mb. But it does
depend. Biggest variable is the proportion of the 150Mb that's taken up with
long element names - sometimes e.g. in FpML this is a huge proportion of the
total, in which case you can do much better than 5x.
