Why XslTransform.Transform doesn't utilize the entire page file?

I have a large XML document (~50mb) which I'm trying to transform, however,
it fails with an OutOfMemoryException.

When I look at the memory and page file usage statistics, I notice that the
page file wasn't used up completely before the exception was thrown. I have
the page file set to 4gb now, but just about 1gb was used before it failed.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Alfred
 
As I recall, Win2K and XP only allow 2GB of addressable space in user land
and another 2GB in kernal land. It may realize long before it's done that
it's not going to have enough free memory to complete or it may be trying to
do a large allocation that's failing.

Just a thought.
