There is probably something you can do to speed up your execution time, but
for us to help we will need to see exactly what you are doing.  Can you
post an example of one of your slow scripts with the appropriate data?  As
you are dealing with large datasets you may want to simplify the example
script/data you send.  If the data is still too large and/or you don't want
to post it to a public mailing list, you can email it to me directly.
