if you need the node-set() extension then probably you have copied the 
entire source into a result tree fragment, which might account for your
memory problems. hard to say. But that may not be what you mean 
(node-set() isn't valid xpath syntax so I'm having to guess)

I'm assuming you are using xslt 1 (you don't say) as xslt 2 doesn't have 
node sets.

If $x contains a node set then

<xsl:for-each select="$x[position() mod 100 = 1]">
<xsl:variable name="p" select="position()"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$x[position()&gt; $p * 100][position()&lt;= ($p+1) 
* 100]">

will process the nodes in batches of a hundred
