No existing XSLT processor that I know of can transform a document that is
too big to fit in memory, so writing it to disk won't help you.

Xalan, I think, has the ability to start transforming, and to start
producing output, before all the input has been read. But by the time all
the input has been read, a tree will have been built in memory.
