We do the same thing.
Once you get the hang of the XML classes it is not too bad and you can
really tune your access.
If you are doing your own tree climbing it gets easier to deal with a
multi-file XML structure that can help reduce the amount of XML that you
have to parse in any given operation. You can break the tree from the
root or from the leaves to optimize the apparent latency to the user.

I agree with what's been said, and would add that if you cannot use
Flash 9 AS3 for your XML, then be wary of the third party XML parsers
when dealing with XML files of this size. I had been in love with
xfactorstudio's Xpath classes (which are mostly great by the way), until
I had to read in a large XML file and convert to objects in Flash (I had
to convert to objects in order to preprare the data for a webservice
transfer). I ended up abandoning those classes and used the build-in
XML classes. While very cumbersome to use, it was a huge improvement in
performance.
