When you are done, why don't you post some before and after memory consumption and hot sync time comparisons for the sake of the archives? I just reread the thread subject and realized you may be installing these via cards instead of hot sync. I'm not sure if VFSImportDatabaseFromFile() has the same bottleneck on the *record count* as Hot Sync does -- I've never tried that API on databases with a "large" number of records. But with a Hot Sync install, the time differential can be quite revealing.
