I have perhaps not used the most scientific way. I comment out the 
code that builds the document and checks how big the program becomes. 
Then I uncomment the lines that builds the document and then checks 
the size again. I then take the second value and subtract with the 
first value. Very simple. The "program" is a RMI object and the only 
thing that happens before the document parsing is that I bind the RMI 
object to the registry. The program takes about 40Mb without the 
document and about 150Mb with the document (which tells me that I 
have to revise what I said earlier, the document is "only" about 
110Mb big in memory).


You say you're using RMI. Are you actually serializing the Document 
using object serialization?
