I am not responding to the details of your message as I have not read it carefully enough. However, I want to point out that a mapped file takes the same space in your address space as a noun with the same data. Unless you are mapping and unmapping, mapped files don't avoid 'out of memory' errors. Depending on your host and configuration it may be that you can solve your problem by increasing the size of your paging file.
