Kris, 3.0G Well there you go then..you're trying to access a file that is larger than RAM, so naturally you won't be able to fit it all in RAM, and with 1GB less RAM in your system you'll spend much more time reading bits of it from disk and later throwing them away. i know a bit of

Kris, Yes, this is my impression of the problem too. Any time your process is waiting on disk I/O it is going to perform terribly (on any OS - disks are slow), and the way to fix this is to make sure it does as little I/O as possible (by allowing everything to be cached in RAM). just for my
