One of my first FrameMaker jobs 15 years ago in Frame 4 on a Sun platform, was 
to update hundreds of files with new variable values. I used the same approach, 
dropping all the files in a single book. It took a while, but it did work. If 
it was possible back then on a system with 100x less memory than you'd have 
available now...
