Issue Summary
All post data is loaded into memory before the batch process is launched. On large imports (ie, 1000+ posts), this can trigger a PHP memory exhaustion error.
Instead of loading the all XML data into memory, we should use stream-based XML processing to go through the WXR data. XMLReader, available in PHP 5.1 (and PHP 5.0 via PECL module), is a good candidate.
