The real issue seemed to be the size of the resulting DOM structure created, although the file sizes themselves were also a concern. Although as RobinB has already commented, compression solves that issue admirably. A lazy DOM approach might solve the other. (Actually these kinds of micro-parsing can be handled at the SAX filter level making it less obvious to the core application that this is occuring) [1]. http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/03/15/deviant/index.html Cheers, L.
