[jQuery] Re: Parsing a very large xml file

Your best bet in that case is trying to talk your client out of it
then. XML is not a very efficient format for data and a file
containing effectively the entire database is only ever going to be
huge and unwieldy. If you're processing it in a browser it's simply
going to be slow, there's no getting around that. If you can find a
way of only fetching the data you need at the time you should do
that.
