Just my 2 cents, In the ARUtilities HTML documents, I get a list of forms or applications, and from there I call the appropriate API one by one to get the related workflow, and write the files as I go rather than store in memory for the entire process. This prevents me from having everything in memory at one time. Since this would normally be run against the development environment I figured it would be better to use bandwidth rather than suck the system dry of memory. I use a combination of the object ID and name to construct the file names. Now I have never attempted to document an app on the scale of ITSM, so I don't know how well it would perform. I do know that if it worked, it would be an extremely long process.
