Paul,

The XMLDocument type is rather 'expensive' and you may be able to 'get away'
with using a simpler type such as DTMLDocument.

If you don't need the DOMification of your XML when you put it into Zope
this is something i'd look at..

I have done this with large documents and then used an external method to
process them with XSLT, XPath etc.
