Bob CaverlySubject: Stylus chokes on large files
Author: Bob Caverly

I have just installed a demo copy of Stylus and tried to open one of my XML files. The DTD is relatively simple and small but the XML file is roughly 8Mb. I am running NT Server 4 on a PIII 500Mhz w/ 512Mb ram and after more than 20 minutes (of 99% CPU usage!) it was still "opening" my file! Since this is the smallest XML file I have to deal with I need to know if I am wasting my time with this tool or is there something I am doing wrong?

I have encountered the same problem, but my xml i sonly 3.8 MB. Other editors open this file easily, and verify that its a well formatted xml-file. What shall we do

The slow part is applying the default stylesheet to such a large file. The next dot release has significant optimizations in this area, but we still don't suggest writing a stylesheet against huge files. If you absolutely can't trim the file, you can try loading it along with a stylesheet that does not process the whole tree, or one that uses for-each and value-of rather than apply-templates.
