i was looking at the simple fact that most of today's coders and processes read 
entire datafiles into memory... i know that some of those i work with are over 
300Meg and there's no way i want to tie up that much memory... i won't even 
speak of the time it can take to load it all but that is dependent on the 
machine doing the work, too... not all of us have the latest and greatest core 
duo or quads or what have you... most of my machines are gimmes from upgrades 
done at the local hospital and factories when they toss out their old stuff for 
newer...
