Comment #19 on issue 360 by pekka.klarck: Possibility to view log file without loading it into memory fully
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=360
There's no way to reduce the size of output.xml. In 2.6 processing outputs ought to anyway be faster than earlier when running tests (issue 824) and hopefully we can enhance the speed and memory consumption with rebot latest in 2.7 (issue 865).
Notice that the old --splitoutputs only reduced the size of the XML on disk, it was read into memory fully anyway during parsing.
I've also been thinking that possibly we should add a new output format in addition to the XML. That could possibly be JSON or even custom format similar to the format we use when saving data in JS format to logs/reports. That requires a separate issue, though.
