I beg to differ. Given an 150 Mb XML input file, my memory usage with Omnimark 5.1 grew to 400 Mb, and I was working with a strictly local program.
Additionally Omnimark has serious trouble with underscores in element-names. Apparenly XML-input data has to conform to a DTD, which does not always apply for our data.

Not entirely so. XML is very easy to generate with Perl, and it is equally easy to parse a lot of non-complex text formats in Perl (if you can put it in a regular expression). Parsing XML with Perl is rather slow, though.
