With 500,000 rows in the file,
you may want to just read the rows one
at a time. This might take some work.
Rebol is good at gulping everything all at once,
and computers are pretty fast and have lots of ram,
but for really big data that approach chokes like a dog.
You should also be careful about writing and testing
on toy size data because it might fail to scale.
good luck!
