Why does it take that long ? That seems totally abnormal. Do you use your maps at many places, possibly causing them from being loaded multiple times maybe ? In theory even with this they should be merged. Now regarding the size, do you think your maps could be aggregated so that you have all fields at once on a line ? If so you could set a variable based on a single lookup of the source address in the map, then use the "word" converter to split it depending on the field you're interested in. The risk is to end up with an even larger map but I think that most entries can be merged. Willy
