With XSLT 3 there's the possibility of a streaming transformation.

Otherwise, making a pyramid in which multiple separate
threads/processes each traverse some small subset of the data - e.g.
with XQuery - and generate partial results, which is later combined and
aggregates - may be necessary. But it might be that systems designed
for handling "Big Data" are more appropriate.
