Re: [docbook-apps] Re: VirtualBox DocBook 5.0 VM
One more bit of info. I just ran a 1200 page doc (XP/2Gb/xsltproc) and it 
used about 230 MB of memory to churn through that doc.

Jeff,

  
I routinely process books over 400 pages (XP/2Gb/xsltproc) and rarely see 
  a memory error. However, when I DO see one, it is because I have done 
  something wacky in the XSL or have done something in the XML that was "legal" 
  but not supported in the XSL. Rare though.

  
 

  
What command line switches are you using?

I'm using the Windows version of xsltproc.

xsltproc 
    worked fine on our smaller manuals (~50 pages), but it wasn't able to handle 
    our largest books (~400 pages). I need to be able to build all the manuals 
    on the writers' machines, which are Windows 7 or Windows XP laptops with 
    only 2 GB of RAM. Xsltproc couldn't seem to handle those constraints. 
    Saxon+Xerces can.

If other people are using xsltproc under similar 
    constraints on Windows and it's working fine, perhaps I'm doing something 
    wrong.

Regards,
Jeff

Was that a Windows version, or *unix?

Size of 
    manual?

I'm sure libxslt folks would love to hear about that 
    whichever system it was 
    on.
