I guess my first thought would be to see if there is a simple way to compute the input you are providing to huge count into fewer files. If you have a lot of files that start with the letter 'a', for example, you could concatentate them all together via a (Linux) command like
cat a* > myafiles.txt and then use myafiles.txt as an input to huge_count. This is just one idea, but it's a start perhaps. If this isn't helpful please let us know and we can try again!
