68MB doesn't sound very big to me. How do you know the problems are anything
to do with the cache file? It looks to me like it could just be something to
do with the script that's meant to be generating them.
Or if analog is running out of memory, that may not be any different whether
you're reading from cache file or original logfile. You might want to look
at the LOWMEM commands.

This won't work in newer versions of analog because it won't overwrite an
old cache file. Of course, you can write a script to store it to a temporary
name and then move it on top of the old one, but then at least it's clear
whose responsibility it is. :)
One other point: there are bugs in cache file creation in older versions of
analog in certain circumstances. I strongly recommend upgrading to 4.01.
Your old config files will (just about) still work.
