XQuery - good and fast tool

a potential 3rd is:

* split it into multiple smaller files, then use collection() and
saxon:discard-document

(...but how you split it might be an issue :) only really applies if
you have control over the generation of the file in the first place,
and can generate many files instead of 1 big one)
