Ok, so I tried to split the file into 256MB chunks. Now I'm getting: "chunk_3.xml" (Line 7988121): Too many distinct element names (limit: 32768). Which is actually true :-( The document has weird element names, like <i1>, <i2> ... and so on, up to <i50000> This may be related to the out of memory error, too. Is there a way to raise this limit? Thanks
