The 6.8MB was when generating the autolayout.xml fil from layout.xml
(for those familiar with DocBook Website).  The time used is 452 user
seconds at an average 98% CPU utilization.

When actually processing the Website file to generate a HTML file, the
process stayed at a steady 19MB virtual, 16MB resident size.  The time
used was 449 user seconds at an average of 98% CPU utilization.  

Hm... I guess some sort of workaround is in order.  Perhaps use a perl
script to generate the XML source file, with the text file inlined,
avoiding XInclude altogether?
