[Simple-support] Flushing deserialized data

[Danny S. <d.s...@gm...>]

Hi,

We're using simpleXML to deserialize data for our Analytics API queries.

There is a possibility that customers can run a query that returns a huge
number of XML nodes, causing a rather long wait and large memory
consumption on the application server.

We are therefore considering some sort of buffering wherein we fetch like
100 XML documents from our XML backend and then immediately send them to
the customer. Then we fetch the next 100 documents and so on.

Is simpleXML capable of such "buffering / flushing" ?

Regards,
Danny
