Hi Larry, You are correct that the resulting data set will take up a lot of memory at the end, the advantage with the pull parser is that you don't take up a whole bunch of extra memory for the XML DOM structures which typically get loaded into memory for the whole document. So with the pull parser there is little memory overhead where as for DOM you have probably at least 2x memory required to load if not more
