XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Elliotte Rusty Harold <elharo AT ibiblio.org>]

Off the top of my head, I think attributes are provided as simple strings
to XOM by the SAX parser, and XOM stores them as simple strings. I don't
think I've had occasion to figure out how Java handles 25MB string objects.

Which parser are you using? If it's not the default, XOM may be verifying
all the PCDATA in the attribute, which could take a while. This shouldn't
be happening unless you've swapped parsers; but it's worth making sure that
you're using fastAddAttribute instead of addAttribute i the parser does not
look like a bottleneck.
