Saxon uses Java's BigInteger. Arithmetic performance will become impossibly
slow long before you hit the size limits on a BigInteger.


It appears to me that BigInteger doesn't really have a limit because
by increasing the memory, the calculation of even larger factorials
(larger than 10446) becomes possible with Saxon.

I won't try to calculate the limit as I don't want to burn the RAM :-)
