DOCBOOK-APPS: Need Advice on an XSLT Processor

[Bill Lawrence <bill dot lawrence at ansys dot com>]

I'm processing a Docbook XML set that comprises roughly 9000 pages on a
daily basis and, as I'm sure you've guessed, I'm having some problems with
memory limitations imposed by various processors.  Currently, I've broken
the set down into four smaller groups so that it will process, but this has
its problems as well as the documents are richly interconnected with xrefs.
Also, I'm trying to run the set through the HTML Help conversion script in
Norm Walsh's docbook stylesheets, and it really should be run as a single
set in order to create the single .hhp and .hhc files I need to "complile"
the .chm file.

I've tried XALAN/XERCES, XT, and the Java version of SAXON, all of which
crash with "out of memory" errors.  Instant SAXON actually will accomodate
the entire set, but on documents that large it slows down far too much to
allow me to process the set within the 24 hour limitiation.  Does anyone
have any suggestions, or am I (as I suspect) simply trying to process a
document set that is beyond the capabilities of current tools?

Thanks in advance,

Bill Lawrence
