Hi all, 

I'm attempting to parse a large (500MB) XML, specifically I am trying to 
extract various parts using XPath. I've been using the examples presented 
here: http://clojure-doc.org/articles/tutorials/parsing_xml_with_zippers.html
and all was going when tested against small files, however now that I am 
using the larger file Fireplace/Vim just hangs and my laptop gets hot then 
I get a memory exception.

I've been playing around with various other libraries such as 
clojure.data.xml and and found that the following works perfectly well for 
parsing... but when I come to search inside root, things start to snarl up 
again.

(ns example.core
  (:require [clojure.java.io :as java.io] 
            [clojure.data.xml :as data.xml]
            ))  

(def large-file "/path-to-large-file")

;; using clojure.data.xml returns quickly with no problems whereas 
clojure.xml/parse from the link above causes problems..
(def root 
  ( -> large-file
       java.io/input-stream
       data.xml/parse
       ))  

(class root) ;clojure.data.xml.Element

Does anyone know a way of searching within root that won't consume the heap?

Forgive me, I'm new to Clojure and these forums, I've searched through 
previous posts but not managed to answer my own question.

Thanks in advance.
