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.
