[Haskell-cafe] XML parser recommendation?

Hi,

I'm struggling to get my HXT-based parser to parse a largish file
(<300MB), even after breaking into reasonably-sized chunks.  The
culprit appears to be parsing one element comprising 25K lines of
text, which apparently requires more memory than the 2Gb my computer
is equipped with. 

I'm wondering what approach others use for non-toy XML data. Is the
problem due to some error I have made, or should I just ignore the
XML, and just parse it "manually" by dissecting bytestrings, or will
another XML library serve better?
