Todd- I'm with Ruslan on this one. DOM is the fastest way to access xml information, but the tree size will be huge (are you talking about a single 100MB file rather than multiple files adding up to 100MB?). You can write a SAX processor, in which case you won't have the whole tree in memory, but your speed will drop noticeably. XML is nice in that it's human-parseable as well as machine-parseable (notice I didn't say readable), but it's quite a bloated format for both storage and searching. Native xml databases provide speed for data storage and retrieval but lack in querying speed unless they use significant resources in indexing.
