You should probably pass the FileInputStream directly to XOM, and
it's well worth wrapping it in a BufferedInputStream before you do
that.  Reading it into a String just makes a single large object
in memory that you can well do without.

If you don't need to process the whole file at once, using a
NodeFactory as Wolfgang suggests is also a pretty good idea.
