That sounds like you should really split up the stylesheet into multiple
smaller pieces, each of which does a smaller task, such as selecting,
grouping or transforming data, and eventually styling it up to HTML or
whatever your final format is. Maybe also one in between that merges
multiple intermediate result documents into one - whatever your data flow
looks like.

Having multiple smaller steps would allow you to apply pipelining, and
potentially also to run single steps trivially in parallel against
independent data subsets.
