Hi Jeff,
You wrote: "I guess I was under the impression that SAX based xsl transformers

It's true. However, when you do a XSLT transformation the entire XML document
needs to be available to the XSLT processor, because you can access any node in
the document, e.g. "/very/large/path/to/some/dark/corner/of/the/XML/node".
I'm not sure about your use-case so I don't know if it will help, but you could
try using the MultiFragmentTraxTransformer from the cocooncomponents project on
Google code. It reduces memory consumption drastically by allowing you to
specify a fragment in the XML that you want transformed. If you have a very
large document that looks like this:
<root>
<item/>
<item/>
....
<item/>
</root>
and all you want to do is transform the <item/> elements then the
MultiFragmentTraxTransformer is your friend.
Huib.
