This very much depends on the processor and the type of transform you are doing, but as a general rule yes. The major issue is parsing the XML file. In this process the text file is converted to a data structure that can be an order of magnitude larger then the original file, when this structure becomes to big it is swapped and there is a massive decrease in speed. There are processors that support streaming but most just create the complete data structure and then process it.

Hi all, I have a "hypothetical" question. If I were to generate very large XML files (upwards of 1 Meg?), would I encounter problems when processing with XSLT, considering that I would want to sort on various elements. We are busy doing some tests and I would be interested to compare our results to existing findings. (We are using xalan/xercses on Linux).
