I had a similar problem to solve once. What I did was create a macro that imported the data into an Access database. I set up a DSN for that access database with a predefined file name, and gave the end user an interface to upload their identically named Access database (the data structure was always the same). Ripping through a delimited text file took nearly 3 hours, while using the access database instead took a matter of minutes. The performance difference really was quite striking.
