Re:  Results of trying to load a 137MB XML document into IE
Roger,

the input document size is not that important, see here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_laughs

That file is of size 3928 bytes and will kill everything -- if no XML
threat protection is in place:
http://stamm-wilbrandt.de/en/xsl-list/laughs.128.xml

This file is a harmless version:
http://stamm-wilbrandt.de/en/xsl-list/laughs.5.xml

$ cat laughs.5.xml
<!DOCTYPE root [
<!ENTITY ha "Ha! ">
<!ENTITY ha2 "&ha;&ha;">
<!ENTITY ha3 "&ha2;&ha2;">
<!ENTITY ha4 "&ha3;&ha3;">
<!ENTITY ha5 "&ha4;&ha4;">
]>
<root>&ha5;</root>
$
$ xsltproc identity.xsl laughs.5.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
</root>
$

Subject:     Results of trying to load a 137MB XML document into
            IE, Firefox, and Opera



Hi Folks,

Here are the results of trying to load a 137MB XML document [1] into
various browsers:

1. Internet Explorer: it loaded and displayed the first part of the XML
document and then stopped and displayed this error message:

    Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.


2. Firefox: it worked on the XML document for a while and then the browser
window suddenly closed and a crash report box appeared.


3. Opera: it worked on the XML document for a while and then its screen
went blank and at the top of the browser window it said: (Unresponsive). I
had to manually kill the browser.


The good news is that the XML document loaded successfully into Oxygen XML.

/Roger

[1] The XML document contains data about all the Unicode characters. Unzip
this file to obtain the XML document:
