The file is almost 5 million characters; the output of wc at the bottom of my original message has the exact figures, as well as the word count.
In text mode things emacs didn't chew up the CPU and was responsive; as I said, the result wasn't very useful to me.

Before that it showed a message saying the file was 87% validated (very roughly--from memory) for quite awhile (a minute?), with low CPU use. It did eventually show as completely validated.

Some of the nXML documentation, specifically on paragraphs, refers to identifying paragraphs by line breaks. Perhaps nXML can't cope with files without newlines?
How long is that single long line? Emacs has known problems with
displaying very long lines (like tens of thousands of characters).
If you visit the file in Fundamental mode, does the problem go away?
