You're not comparing like with like, Saxon is an XSLT processor and DOM4J
isn't. (Though looking at it, I see it has adopted a pattern-based
event/action model very similar to the original pre-XSLT Saxon processing
model).

I haven't actually studied how DOM4J stores its trees, but looking at the
specs it appears that each node is a Java object, in which case the Saxon
tinytree model is almost certainly smaller.
