Question on SAX output

[Kiran BV]

Does the SAX parser always return all data for an element when the 
characters() call is made. It seems that it returns all data until the end 
of its tag or the start of another element or at some entity.

What is the general behaviour here. If I have a 10MB of data for an element, 
does xerces allocate 10MB to call characters(). I was assuming that 
depending on the memory usage it will be split into chucks of data and many 
characters() calls would be made. Is my assumption wrong. Would this not 
cause a memory/performance bottleneck.

Thanks
Kiran
