What is large document. I'm using this with fragments which are about 
100K without any problems. Are you using precompiled DTDs (.ced)?

I use following comment at the end of a file:

<!-- Keep this comment at the end of the file
Local variables:
sgml-doctype: master.xml
sgml-parent-document: ("master.xml" "book" "chapter")
End:
-->
