I think it's feasible in principle if the document has a DTD: it should be
possible to create sub-trees of the source document "just-in-time" and to
discard them from memory when they are no longer needed.

Alternatively, it should be possible to create the trees as persistent
objects in an ODB and translate the XPath expressions into OQL queries. All
good stuff for a research project.

But neither of these approaches will ever be as fast as a serial
transformation. To achieve that, I think a different language is needed.
