The problem is not with ElementTree, but can be traced to a specific regular expression: _escape = re.compile(u'[&<>"\x80-\uffff]+') I suspect it's a bug/misplaced optimization in the re module, but haven't investigated any further than that. The specific problem with the regular expression in the \x80-\uffff range. Changing that to '\ufffa-\uffff' gets rid of the astronomical memory usage. I'm going to keep looking into this as it's a particularly vexing bug ;-P I've updated the bugzilla bug to reflect these changes.
