The answer is "it depends". Recent Xalan versions have a limited capability of "streaming processing", the apply templates as soon as possible. I'm not sure what constitute opportunities for the processor to do this, look into the Xalan docs or ask on the Xalan list for details. If the processor has to read more of or even the complete input document, it doesn't use a standard DOM but a more optimized structure.
