Hi all.

I have a large (600 pages, 15 meg) PDF, of which I am trying to read in notes 
from a medium(?) sized skim file (600KB, but I don't know how to determine how 
many individual notes are in this--neither skim nor the notes reader indicates 
this).

When I open the PDF, which has probably 30-40 less notes than are in the .skim 
file, and try to replace those with the latest copy from the skim file (with 
File->Read Notes), Skim seems to go into a wild memory eating loop. It got up 
to 2 G of memory, and my swap hit 3G, before my system became responsive enough 
to let me force-quit it.  Tried again after a reboot to load the notes in, with 
the same effect.

I've only read 100 or so of the 600 pages of the PDF, so I'm expecting my 
annotation data to grow to 6x its current size. Is anyone else working with 
large annotation sets? Is skim up to the task? (If not, then can someone tell 
me if Adobe's own Acrobat software is? And if I buy it, is there a way to 
convert Skim's notes to Adobe's format? I've already pretty well committed to 
the Skim data format, so this is really worrying)

I'm totally unable to work tonight, now that I'm home from the office and 
unable to read in my annotations. Quite frustrating.

Cheers, thanks for any advice,
Jeremy
