Basically if you can reduce the number of records the hotsync will go
much faster.  There is no "stream transfer" per se, but my program
transfers the pdb file as a stream and unpacks it on the palm.

You could build something like this into your own program that would
take the hotsynced program and unpack it into the 14000 records.

I just don't know how long the unpacking would take.  As I said, if
palmos takes seconds to create new records after there are 10000, the
hotsync will go fast, but the unpack will still take a long time.
