That varies quite a bit. It's basically a call graph for a functional language, where also aggregated results are stored in the XML tree. In other words, the shape depends on the program we're analyzing. With a loop in the top level, we could get plenty of nodes in the root, but we need to handle different cases. Typically, the language in question isn't used to build very complex things, so this hasn't really been an issue before... I tried to look at a 100MB xml file in a browser, to see the shape, but Mozilla died after growing to several GB in size... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
