After running a few tests, I'm finding that the operations performed
by the SOAP::Lite decode() method (actually in the SOAP::Parser
package) are causing huge memory usage by our test script. The file
being parsed is 50MB on disk as XML wrapping encoded xml - parsing the
file consumes 1.2 GB of memory.

Is there any way to reduce the memory footprint of SOAP::Lite? I'm
using Xerces as a parser, so I don't need anything but the querying/
fault-catching abilities of SOAP::Lite.

Thank you,
