Q) Can you give me an idea of the maximum output xml file size?
A) We use the Xalan C++ XSLT engine for the stylesheet transforms. As far as we know, almost all XSLT engines (except maybe for the streaming XSLT engine from DataPower) are built by loading all the document into memory. The maximum output size is akin to the problem of trying to read a GML document with DOM rather than SAX or some other streaming XML API. The computer may slow to a crawl on a document size that is greater than 30MB or so; most boxes will certainly slow to a crawl if you open a ~10MB xml file with IE or Firefox, but then again, the browsers must be doing some extra processing.
