how big are these XML files? large_object was meant for storing very
large files, like videos, etc. multi-megabyte to gigabytes. XML stuff
is typically a lot smaller than that.

me, I would be decomposing the XML in my application and storing the
data in proper relational tables, and only generate XML output if I
absolutely had to send it to another system beyond my control as its
easily one of the most inefficient methods of data representation out there.
