The internal tree used by XSLT processors such as Saxon is often much smaller (it can take advantage of the fact that it's immutable). It depends on the structure, but a factor of 4 is often enough. However, it's often not memory that limits a large transformation, but non-linear algorithms in the stylesheet logic. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
