For the specific splitting task that would be good.
Maybe such utility could be written, perhaps being
passed an Xpath expression defining where to split the
file (like, defining root nodes of resulting docs?).
And you could probably use much of VTD-XML code as
core of such tool?

That should be very fast & memory efficient solution.
