Dan;
By copy, I don not mean duplicating a reference. I mean having two
identical sets of bytes where there was one before. What the OP seemed
to be talking about was a filter of some sort.
I based my estimate on 134MB being a 2 hour mp3, or a 6-minute video. I
just thought the data transfer speed of a hard drive would work out to
about a minute, or 4MB/sec, since both to and from storage are what we
are talking about here. (note to self: Google 'hard drive throughput'
for more info)
I am sure there are more constructive views out there. I look forward to
reading them.

Really? I would not.
