  You can override libxml2 memory routines.
    http://xmlsoft.org/xmlmem.html#setting
    http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xmlmemory.html#xmlMemSetup
of course if you don't completely understand what it does, what
are the potential impacts of doing so, it will crash, put your
CPU on fire or even worse and you're absolutely on your own to
debug the thing. But you can do it. If you're not experienced with
libxml2 I suggest to avoid it as much as possible.
