I have tried to work with files up to 450mb in arcgis, mapinfo & qgis, in Windows, wine & linux; and found in all cases that above about 50mb I notice a performance hit, where as after breaking the big files into smaller chunks, even working with the same total volume of data performance improves. mick _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
