The xml DOM tree is known to cause memory issues. Especially with wider datasets. We can try to enable the PUGIXML_COMPACT mode which should reduce the memory usage 2-5 times according to the documentation. Though the doc also mentions performance costs and I assume there are reasons why it’s not enabled by default. So we should run some tests before causing issues.
