thanks to all for the replies.
the Windows memory fragmentation was one of the "i didn't know that"
items. we will use 64-bit Windows OS if the job happens.
agree with all the other suggestions: multiple threads for data and GUI,
etc. Also, might push for Linux even though the company is Windows-only
presently.
but thinking about the issue some more as well as everyone's comments,
have decided to proceed cautiously and let the client decide first that
they really need this app regardless of guaranteed Windows-based uptime.
