  Well, so you think wrong. So as a punishment :), take 600M log file,
split it, parse it with a Perl script running analog. But dont' take 
me wrong. Read bellow...

   Arghhh.... You have right. I'm somehow afraid that this will need a 
change for partial data. It's about to write some intermediar results 
on disk. Anyway, a feature which will improve even already existings
stats. Will make analog to dump stats on single execution step.
Newbies will love this.

Thanks. That's a solution. (but not that with spliting, never on 
large files).
