Youbve probably considered this, but if you query the document more
than once, it may be worth putting it into e.g. BaseX, and using XQuery
instead of XSLT. The advantage of XQuery in a database is the index:
the database doesn't need to search the whole document to find text
nodes with values equal to DNKK for example.

Of course, BaseX might fall over onto its back and wiggle its legs in
the air at a 5GByte XML document, ibm not sure. Ibve had more than 5G
in one BaseX database i think, but not all in one file, it was the
collected works of Dorothy Parker
