ozone supports XPath. It employs third party packages like Xt or Xalan for
that. The default is Xt which is included in CVS. Xt is pretty fast. If the
working set of data fits in memory, then Xt works on persistent DOM (ozone)
nearly as fast as on transient DOM.
However, if you need to process all the 50000 documents each time, then ozone
is probably not suited for your needs because a working set of data of 50000
XML documents each of 10k would probably not fit in memory ;) which makes
ozone/XML very slow because serializing data to/from disk is by far the most
time consuming operation.
The is the drawback of the current architecture of ozone/XML. Which is very
flexible and works with each products that uses DOM (Xt, Xalan, SAXON, ...) but
on the other hand need enough memory to hold the working set of data in memory.
