You can actually call a workspace file from the command line, in just
the same way as you're doing with mapping files. Just use .fmw instead
of .fme - Sorry, I see a .fme file and can't tell whether you're
running it that way, or creating mapping files from scratch.

Then I'd suggest that the clippers first setting will definitely be of
use; it will prevent FME having to hold the 200,000 records in memory
while waiting to see if there are more clippers.

Sensible move.

Well you don't get much better than that!

OK - look forward to hearing the result.
