I'd recommend grabbing a SAX parser and using that instead of the DOM-based stuff that CF ships with. Then you can stream the file in and deal with it's nodes sequentially, rather than having to inflate the whole thing into a DOM tree to manipulate. Definitely can make the code trickier to write since you only have one shot at each node, but it'll save your ass with the memory constraints.
