it has little to do with mapinfo.  I have a text file that has about 20 
million pieces of data (350000 lines with each line being 600 characters 
long).  It takes about 5 minutes to open it up and even longer to save it ( I 
have only a single program that can even open that file).  The problem is in 
transmitting the data to and from disk.   I suspect that your file has much 
more than 470000 actual records.
