SAX does not build the document tree (it's a streaming way of processing 
XML) into memory so you wont have problems with size. Note however that 
it has some limitations on the processing you can do with it. You may 
want to use SAX as the orchestration level and build smaller memory 
trees using DOM behind that to overcome this.
