How to improve speed large xml validation against xsd in Java?

I'm trying to validate a very XML (~200MB) against XSD. It's taking almost 3 hours. I'm not sure what am I doing wrong here? 

    SchemaFactory sf = SchemaFactory.newInstance(W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
    Schema schema = sf.newSchema(new File(this.productExtraInfoXsd));

    DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    domFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
    DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document doc = builder.parse(new File(filePath));

    DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource(doc);
    DOMResult result = new DOMResult();

    Validator validator = schema.newValidator();
    validator.validate(domSource, result);

Have a look at this stackoverflow topic. Here is written that:

You should not use the DOMParser to validate a document (unless your goal is to create a document object model anyway). This will start creating DOM objects as it parses the document - wasteful if you aren't going to use them.

Maybe it will be useful!

check this article on XML unmarshalling from Marco Tedone see here. Based on his you can see Stax

XMLInputFactory xmlInputFactory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
XMLStreamReader xmlStreamReader = xmlInputFactory.createXMLStreamReader(fileInputStream);
Validator validator = schema.newValidator();
validator.validate(new StAXSource(xmlStreamReader));
